My mother in law's mom is from one of these islands, and when I showed her the pictures of this site, she knew the names of most people and their backgrounds. It was incredible listening to that.
She also said that a few of the houses as it was in the process of transported over the water and then resettled, were looted while people were told to stay away, quite sad.
In 1962, the church of Mary’s Nativity in Warsaw, Poland, was moved by 21 metres to make room for widening of the nearby major thoroughfare [0]. It was the first moving-of-a-church operation in Europe.
The Shipping news [1] (Pulitzer and National Book Award winner) featured a house being moved over ice and Oscar and Lucinda [2] (Booker Award winner) featured a glass church being moved on water, as did their respective movies.
