Ship Ahoy tavern on Goodland, c1950.  Formerly, a 36' x 125' houseboat used by workers on the Overseas Highway project in the Keys, it sank in a 1935 hurricane off Marathon.  It was salvaged in 1943 or 1944 by Tommie Barfield and J.H. Doxsee, and towed to Marco Island by the schooner Eureka to become a tavern near the west end of Goodland bridge.
