Come in closer as I tell you a story about a Cape May Restaurant that sits above a sunken ship. This is one of those stories I had only heard in passing but never had the full story. After 4 months of research this is what I found.

I remember going to the gift shop and later, after it was condemned, my brother and I snuck onto the ship and explored it. There was a night club on the upper level and day glo paintings on the walls. I never knew what happened to the ship after they moved it. Now I do though. Thnx!

@@WildwoodVideoArchive 3 years ago we spent a last week in Cpae May before we moved out here. me and wifey shared our first kiss at the top of Cape May lighthouse, I know, total cliche, but that lighthouse means that much more to us both now. 👍 I, like you and so many others, also worked on Morey's Pier. I operated the Condor for 2 summers then managed the games and 2 photo booths for 1 summer. good times. I was there for the RC-48 too. *LOL*

Wow I've eaten at Harbor View a few times and outside on that terrace both times too, circa 2010. I was at the Crab House the night the floor cracked around 2008. It isn't the same since it re-opened IMO. Ate there every summer 1997-2008. There's another video idea.

@WildwoodVideoArchive 3 года назад

wow! You were there at that crazy night at the crab house. Do you happen to have any photos?

@SCUMCRODE 3 года назад

Wildwood Video Archive no Joey I was a cell phone holdout and didn’t get one until 2012! We were seated for about 10 minutes before it happened. After the initial crack in the floor about 2-3 booths inside the main dining room to the left as you walk in, which sounded like a cooler full of ice being dumped over, a tearing/shredding sound, management decided it was ok to proceed with business as usual. Ten minutes later the crack turned into a crevasse. It happened inside and we were on the outside deck, when the crevasse formed someone ran out to the deck yelling “Run!” Someone on the deck said “Gun!”. I clearly heard run, not gun, and calmly hopped onto the dock but many people fled crazily thinking they heard gun.

You are referring to "the Atlantic." It was the fastest Schooner ever built and was owned by some of the richest people in America at one point. It still hold the title for the fastest Atlantic Ocean Crossing. Believe you me I am not combining the two ships/stories.
