All it needs is a little underpinning and some flood insurance and they have premium waterfront property. In the rainy season you can dock 2 boats.

This came around my old office a while back. Honestly, I'd bet this was not done by a professional mover.

Who puts a house on 1 rack of wheels?

2-story triplewides are the way to go.

Solution might be a bridge loan.

It looks to me that they just replaced the old bridge with a New England style covered bridge. Their design, however, appears to be just a bit off the mark. Extra points though for coming up with such a novel way to install it.
