The Houseboat Book
by Barbara Flanagan with photos by Andrew Garn
The most comprehensive book on the floating dwellings of North America, The Houseboat
Book reveals intriguing villages (floating on century-old cedar logs, concrete barges,
Styrofoam blocks, plastic barrels, fiberglass, and painted wood) in British Columbia,
Canada, and in Washington, Oregon, California, Florida, New York, and New Jersey. One
sees wonderfully inventive architecture-a thatched cabana in paradisiacal Key West,
a barged train car (as family home/circus stage) in industrial Brooklyn-imaginative
design at its best.
