A floating (buoyant) platform includes multiple flotation block elements arranged in a general grid pattern, and a structural body supported buoyantly by the floatation elements. An assemblage of floating (buoyant) platforms are joined by one or more flexible connector elements each having a flexible cylindrical body extending across a control joint between opposed sidewall surfaces of adjacent floating platforms. The flexible cylindrical body has a first portion received within a first cylindrical disc assembly secured by a first clamp element and fixedly attached to a first of the opposed sidewall surfaces. The flexible cylindrical body also has an opposite, second end portion received within a second cylindrical disc assembly secured by a second clamp element and fixedly attached to a second of the opposed sidewall surfaces, opposite to the first of the opposed sidewall surfaces. |
