Wind Powered Saw! Windmill capturing the power of the almost constant winds of Westport to operate the saw which cut usable lengths of wood for household needs such as heating and cooking as well as building of fences and other projects. Note the ladder against the wind tower, probably to service and adjust the sails or blades for wind direction.
