An artificial island structure which is constructed on land can be conveyed to and placed in a vertical standing position on an underwater base site by loading the island structure, while horizontal, on a floating buoyant carrier, transporting the carrier with island structure thereon to a large displacement buoyant vessel, journalling one end of the carrier to the vessel, transporting the vessel with carrier and island structure to a position over the underwater base site, ballasting the carrier until it swings to an upright position, suspending the upright island structure from the vessel, disconnecting the carrier from the island structure, and lowering the island structure onto the underwater base site.

The method of placing an artificial island structure in a vertical standing position on an underwater base site, which comprises the steps of: (a) loading the artificial island structure, while horizontal, from land onto a buoyant carrier disposed in water, (b) affixing the horizontal artificial island to the carrier, (c) transporting the carrier through the water to a large displacement buoyant vessel, (d) journalling one end of the carrier upon the vessel, (e) transporting the vessel to a position over the underwater base site, (f) ballasting the carrier until the carrier swings vertically downwardly about said one end of the carrier to an upright position of the carrier and artificial island affixed thereto, (g) suspending the upright artificial island from the vessel, (h) disconnecting the carrier from the artificial island structure, and (i) lowering the artificial island structure relative to the vessel until it is supported in vertical position on the underwater base site.
