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. Please expand the article to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.(December 2009)
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.
Montague, Michigan, USA: Montague is home to the "World's Largest Working Weathervane" which was constructed in part by local manufacturer Whitehall Metal Studios. Originally located on a man-made peninsula that jutted out into the waters at the Northeast end of White Lake, it was moved to the corner of Dowling & Water Streets in Montague. The functioning weathervane is 48 feet tall with an arrow 26 feet long.[2] It is topped by the Ella Ellenwood, a lumbering Schooner that frequented White Lake transporting lumber from Montague to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
