Morning commuters got an unusual sight on Tuesday when the ‘Fantasy Island’ houseboat caused a temporary traffic jam along Broad River Rd. and Dutch Fork Rd. near Chick-fil-A and Tractor Supply.
The massive watercraft, being transported on land, stalled while attempting a tight 90-degree turn onto Broad River Rd. The size of the boat and the narrow turn made for a tricky maneuver, briefly halting traffic in the area. Fortunately, the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) arrived and quickly got things moving again.
The ‘Fantasy Island’ houseboat had been a familiar sight at Lake Murray Marina for many years, but on this day, it was on its way to an undisclosed destination. While its next port remains unknown, it certainly made a memorable exit!
