This was anchored in the Shark River (by my house) for a couple of days. I took a couple of pics while we waited for the bridge. It says that its a semi-submersible. It was pretty easy to see that the thing must have had an 8' draft. Looks like the windows at the waterline would be at eye level when standing down below. Made of steel??? They had a dinghy with a bicycle (color matched, of course) to run to town for errands.

Kinda reminded me of an Oscsar Meyer Wienermobile for the water. Marked as being from Canada.

And this thing travels in the Atlantic Ocean, as thats the only way to get to the shark river.

I though it was pretty damn cool. Anyone ever see anything similar????

Pretty wild are they traveling semi-submarine gypsies? :D Looks like it would be a bugger in a good head sea.

My kids were watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory the other day.

I think they had something like that on there...

I had seen this one moored off Cape Cod, till they evicted it from the harbor it was at. http://www.floatingneutrinos.com/

The Floating Neutrinos did cover alot of ground, they hung out down by Greenport NY a few years back also till they got kicked out. They ended up going toward NYC after that God knows where. Anybody seen them lately?

It looks like it wouldn't take much to make that thing fully submersible. :D

I wouldn't cross the pond behind my house with that floating neutrinos garbage yacht, let alone making a trans-atlantic crossing. Can you say, "death wish."
