Floating Wedding Chapel Turned Floating Condo

Описание к видео Floating Wedding Chapel Turned Floating Condo

I saw the "Chapel on the Bay," (built in 2004 as a floating wedding chapel and then converted into a 1050 square foot 2B 2B floating condo) at Melbourne Harbor Marina in August 2024. It was traveling north to Titusville, where a friend saw it there.
It is 60 feet long, weighs 33-tons, has fiberglass catamaran hulls with twin 115 hp Cunnins engines - top speed of 10 mph - plus a 30-foot steeple. Instead of an anchor, it has "spud poles" that push into the bottom and hold the boat in place, similar to the modern power-pole anchors fishermen use.
The original chapel operated between 2005 and 2013. It could accommodate 125 people with 16 pews, an alter, and a brides changing room.
The first floating chapel in the united States was the Episcopal "Church of Our Savior," built in 1834 for sailors. It was moored in lower Manhattan. Several more were built in the 19th century. Only 2 exist today in the world, the other one is in Australia (the inspiration for this one).
