This article is missing information about the exact weight, volume and proportions such as figure-length, arrow-length, and such data of the weathervanes listed in here which are necessary to justify the claims to "largest weathervane" or else whether by different standards all are actually the largest. This concern has been noted on the talk page where it may be discussed whether or not to include such information. (December 2009) |
According to the Guinness World Records, the world's largest weather vane is located in Jerez, Spain.
According to the explore north website [1] a challenger for the title of world's largest weather vane is located in Whitehorse, Yukon. The weather vane is a retired Douglas DC-3 atop a swiveling support. Located beside the Whitehorse airport the weather vane is used mainly by pilots to determine wind direction. This weather vane only requires a 5 km/hour wind to rotate.
Other claimants to the title are located in:
- Montague, Michigan, USA: Montague is home to the "World's Largest Working Weathervane" which was constructed in part by local manufacturer Whitehall Metal Studios. The weathervane is topped by the Ella Ellenwood, a lumbering Schooner that frequented White Lake transporting lumber from Montague to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
