- Please join me, Billy and Thor as we journey offshore by boat to explore an island that once contained a booming granite quarry over 100 years ago. When they left the work, they left everything behind. It was an amazing place and so very interesting to explore.

This whole series has been just fantastic.
Appreciate it.
Me too!
Me, three... as I love downeast Maine...!
After listening to that song at half speed I feel like I’m dying! 🤣
At this point I feel like I’m dying whenever I hear it🤢
Lol
What a cool place.. Captain Billy has the best story time voice, love to listen him talk!
I loved everything about this adventure!
I've been diving quarries in MN for years... they're mostly quite nice, especially if they're spring fed. Clear water, interesting structure, lots of equipment.
Makes me so happy to see you enjoying my home state! There’s nothing like living in Maine. I wouldn’t trade it for all the gold in the world.
Very cool. Thanks for taking me along on the adventure.
wow that was awesome chigg,a blacksmiths dream island thankyou
What an adventure you’ve been on in Maine! Once in a lifetime opportunity 👍 so cool
That was cool of Beck to guest star on the theme song!
Captain Billy is very knowledgeable about all these little areas and Islands
You should make challenge and see how long you can stay at the isolation house on the island off the coast of Maine by simply catching all your food. That would be a great videos
Loved the exploration of this island.
So much stuff can be upcycled
Awesome!! Thanks for taking us along!!! ✌🐢
Man, all those old motors...that was flat head heaven LOL
love the chigg and billy shows - you two are great together!
I love exploring 💖 I could just imagine all the men working there and all those loud machines running! Very cool place! Thanks for the adventure! Be safe and HH⛏🎧
Something beautiful about that old boat....such classic lines. Time marches on .....relentlessly.
I've not been on UA-cam for ages, great to see you have smashed the 1 million subs! Your river hunting back in the day was the best and got me into metal detecting. Keep up the great content. 👍
I can almost smell that crisp, salty Maine air.
Thanks, buddy...
Island looks awesome!!!
Yep what a great place to live and play.
Thank you for sharing with us all. Love all the history and the different things you do.
Ive really enjoyed this series of videos thanks.
As usually expected, an entertaining and educational video from The Chigg, Thank You.
Dude you go to the most coolest places and share them with us...... very cool. Thanx Chigg for another great AQUACHIGGER ADVENTURE SEE YA ON THE NEXT
Billy sounds just like my fam from Maine! Love the accent
He's been hanging out at the Drunken Clam!!!
I’m in Maine & love watching your videos!
I could spend a week there taking photos. Very cool place and history. Thanks for the tour Chig and Billy.
This Billy series is great, love these videos.
We swim in the quarry's here in Minnesota. They are clear, cold, and DEEP. 60 70 feet or more. You get on the ledge and jump. Some even have trout in them. Fun to see one in another part of the country. Thanks Chigg.
The comments on this one are extra fun, Love ya Chig - this series has been so fun!
The dogs in my neighborhood started howling at around 8:30 vid time .. Ye-Ouch! Reminds me of my tavern days just before closing time. Between the weed and whisky someone always started singing... Yeah, it was Free Bird...
Love these different adventures. A lot of history where you are. Thanks for the adventures.
Hearing the outro song played slow like that is something i never knew i needed, made my day. 😂
It's been a while since we have watched one of your vids! My husband and I live on our sailboat, sailing around the world... maybe we will cross paths out there someday. Cheers~
What a cool life, but I bet it can be tough too. are you still sailing?
You guys are lucky, must be no better feeling than knowing you can just zip off to your next destination in the blink of an eye. I'm jealous!
Be nice to see that place running again wow 😳 I’d like to see that
Won't be long before The Island claims all the machinery for her own. Well, not longing the great scheme of things... Thanks for taking us with you!!
I love your videos. You walk by so much iron and steel that I would live to salvage for use in our smithy.
Very nice video, thanks for taking us with you !
need a little grease on the record player :)
Awesome place. Another great adventure. I love Billy's accent.
Thanks 😉
the song played like that goes alone with the area and history. the area is a little spooky.
Man, you really can't mess around on damp and mossy rocks
Love the videos with you, Billy, and Thor! Safe Travels
Hell no, I learned the hard way in Bar Harbor last year.
holy sheep dip what's up with the end song... Too much whiskey with Billy?!
That song is painful enough at 1x speed!
when the weed hits
Gary Stone it’s grown on me, not really a folk music guy TBH. that’s what it is, right??
It's Fiona and Bobby Wobbs
Recorded at 45 rpm, played at 33 :)
Aquachiggers song slowed down, is nightmare fuel.🤣 Great video!
I wish I was mouse in your pocket and gog to go to all these super cool places with you in person.
It’s funny how Chig pointed out the skeleton boats and machinery but overlooked all those counter tops!
I enjoy you channel’s music (theme)
Hello A.C., sorry I'm late getting back to you since your "finally". Glad you kicked that idea into the alley🤗!!! Will we see more pinging and splashing🤔?? Love the pinging in the dinging (sorry, had to make dingey work!)...🤣 Hope all's well with everyone/thing! Have fun and be safe. Take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 👍👍🙏😇👊
Rattle moccasin ?! You’re so funny Chigg 😂🤣
Wow! Still loving the history this part of our Great Country! Thanks for sharing
Noo!!! I always play the videos at 2X speed so as the song he plays at the end sounds better. You tricked me!!!
You made me realize it...
Beau was talking at 2x while the music sounded slow and I didn't think twice about it!
Michael Inocente I thought I was having a flashback from my 70 era days. Lol
I laughed WAY too long on “she’s a fixer upper” 🤣🤣🤣
Great cast of Characters - I'd be wanting to drain the quarry! Certainly shows how quickly Mother Nature can reclaim, when you think it's only be abandoned in Chigg's lifetime... 🤿🛶💰😉🐾👍🦘
Awesome granite island adventure. It would have been awesome if you had a go-pro an your kayak, to drop in the black waters. Might have seen a sam squench. Lol. All that old equipment was really neat to see of a time period that has been long gone for some time now. An for it to just be out on an island all by its self. One can only imagine seeing all the guys putting in a hard days work, cutting the granite an getting it ready to ship out to its final destination. I'd say maybe go back an do some bottle hunting an detecting up in the woods. You just never know what's hiding in them there woods. Great video chigg. As always safe an happy hunting guys. Thanks for taking us along for the adventure. 😁👍👍
My family once owned and ran the Chase Granite Company out of Blue Hill, Maine.. Although it is no longer in operation my family still owns the land & the leftover relics from the days the quarry was still operational there are absolutely amazing to see!
Thanks for a great video!
Thanks for commenting.
These are cool videos he is taking you all over that’s super nice of him.
Lots of what I consider treasure out there!!
Ask your buddy to say No wake in the harbor LOL I’m in Tennessee we had a guy from Baltimore come down He ran a boat house in the harbor we would make wake just to hear him say it lol
Anyone know if Billy has a channel? If not he should!!! What a fascinating character.
I would love to live on that quarry....awww if only I had.money..lol..that would be so awesome.. The calm would be so wonderful
the slow motion music was spoooooky!!! LOL!! :)
Don't usually comment, but that place is awsome. Would love to see that history, thanks for sharing, B.C. Canada.
There is a quarry here where I live, but no one is allowed to swim in the quarry. Divers went down there and one died. He got caught in a cable line and his partner tried to help him but he couldn't. He drowned. So please stay above ground. Quarries are very dangerous.
It shows the true American spirit!! Look at what the generations before us was able to do and accomplish, and we think we have it hard. Lol. Great video Chig!!
I love Billy's accent. He sounds like an Aussie!
Thanks for mentioning the 1934 carving. I love finding old monikers carved in brick buildings out West here. Any old town will have them especially if there was a railroad
Wish you spent more time exploring the boat
An EARLY HEMI !!!
In Th@ First She'd ...
Beautiful Rust ...
-Godspeed
Howdy, did enjoy the hike. Thank you. It's cool to see how the ocean air is totally cleaning the place up. Just like the Titanic. Its returning to nature also.
You should try magnet fishing those waters Chigg.
Yes, welcome back!
Come on Chig, I will dive it with you!
You should take that boat home and fix it up good. It even came with a motor. Right in the front yard. Your wife will love you all the more for it. :)
Chigg you are more and more sounding like a person from Maine the longer your up there! 🤣
Hahahaha. The half time “mother earth 🌍” was sick 😷 dude!
Use the cables to cut the granite. Probably a death trap down in the water.
Very interesting and entertaining. Enjoyed watching. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for another great video
this a very interesting place ,the affect of years and years of rain and wind and winter seasons especially that old boat , some year in the future the island will totaly consume every thing that was left there .
Interesting to see a Cadillac flathead V-8, of all things, @ 5:56. Would've never guessed they were ever used in an industrial capacity like that.
I was waiting for the end song to say paul is dead paul is dead🙀🐎🐎🐎
You get to see some cool places. I’ve been to Colorado a couple of times. We go up around Leadville in the mountains. Look at the mines I get to. Run into few people around there. I love it , hard to find places anymore away from all the people. Good luck on your future adventures .
Man, those were some old archbar trucks on that flatcar! I'm guessing some lucky railfan somewhere has those journal box covers in a place of honor in their collection.
I’m surprised. Here in southern Indiana, the water in limestone quarries, out my back door, are crystal clear. Difference must be the chemistry of the rock. Further, I think Cpt. Billy is having a lasting affect on you. Which is a good thing. I’ve enjoyed seeing the Chigg as the student on this Maine series. Though a very bright student indeed.
He hummed a few bars, now he's slurrin' his words...ha ha ha...
Honestly Chigg this was creepy as all get out, but super cool too. Old quarries just seem like grim death to me. Maybe it's the blackness of that water?! I wonder how many quarry men lost their lives here? If you fell into that water, I think something in the deep would reach up and pull you under, never to be seen again! That gave me the shivers and no mistake!
So cool! Would be cool to see some of those coins from the depths of the black lagoon
To me the place looks beautiful
Interesting video! Slowed down music was distracting, even my cat noticed something was up 😁
I loved your "Theme Song" at half speed 🎶😌🎶😌🎶😌🎶
Wow, would be neat to see pictures when this quarry was active, thanks for sharing
So awesome to see old abandoned structures that aren't plastered with graffiti. And YES Chigg, you should dive in the pool for the silver coins!! And the singers of your song sound drunk when you play it slow LOL.
Thanks very much for ur videos I really enjoy theme .and yes it is a very special place. Be safe .
Look up “dank” in the dictionary and there’s a picture of that old black water. Ask Billy if the coins were next to a box of snipes. 🙋🏻♂️
Deep dark dank cellars
Some one should offer to take him snipe hunting.
That sure is an interesting place full of history.
Funny.... I would have thought that there would have been no un-settled land along the east coast of Maine. I pictured it as quite inhabited.
With all the old equipment there and the boilers in the water, I am surprised that no one had gathered up all the scrap for some big $. I guess the logistics would be quite the challenge though?
Thanks for showing us the air dried rust flakes on the old rails. It is amazing how that happens!
I am really glad that you did not dive in that murky water. Looks a tad dangerous.
That was a different twist to your Aquachigger song, all slow like that. How did you do it?
It seemed that the guy singing it was still on key, yet it was slowed down at the same pitch?
Or do you have a pitch control on your editing software?
Still, being slow like that it would be handy for those who really wanted to know what the lyrics were. LOL! ;)
You HAVE TO get some underwater tech to scope out under that water!
Maine has so many cool islands to explore. Chig you should go check out the old forts on the islands around Casco Bay. I used to find a bunch of cool things out there.
i enjoy your videos please keep up the good work
You should have dropped your magnet into that black water to see how deep it was.
What was haunting was your ending song starting at about 8:30 and playing on half speed.
