Recently in my reading, I came across a mention of Windmill Island in Holland, Michigan. I later found an article with a picture of a 240 year old Dutch windmill. In Hannegan's Cove one of Clark Construction's projects was building a house with English windmill to generate electricity on a small island called Windmill Island. I wonder if the windmill in Wes' book bears any resemblance to the real one in Holland, Michigan.

The Google Maps satellite view shows the thing in amazing detail - at least amazing for Google Maps.

There would be similiarities, but many differences too, starting with the fact that it's much smaller. I went through the one in Holland, MI a couple decades ago and it is very interesting.
