always great videos
 

Excellent video! Very well produced.

The name of the saloon was not mentioned, but I'm curious why it was a 'floating saloon'? Any history you can provide?

Here in Virginia, back in the early part of the 20th century, saloons and businesses offering "games of chance" were built on piers over areas of the Chesapeake Bay because Virginia law stops at the low water mark and Maryland laws (which start at the water's edge) were friendlier to those sorts of establishments. There are places where some really cool stuff has come up from the bottom of the Bay over the years...
 

Enjoyed the video!! Very good research on finding a spot like that, Have you checked into the water deep?

Would be interesting to see if they did any swimming.

Amen to the Chesapeake Bay!
