Last week while snooping around the waterfront I found a houseboat that frequents the Annisquam River in the Summer sitting on the "Ways" at Rocky Neck Marine Railways. Home improvement with a different twist! While there, the landing craft "Goliath" which is used by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation was sitting in the slings of the boat lift.
Houseboat on the cradle!
I'm used to sea-going vessels here!
Another view!

Stern view!
"Goliath" deck!
Looking forward!

Yup, that's a Gulls life alright, yak, yak, yak! Looks like some serious birding alright, but a bit to cold for me.
Those floating houses sure are interesting. I'd like to see what some of them look like on the inside! What do they do for facilities?
As far as sewer they are the same as most pleasure boats of size. They have a holding tank and when full call the Harbormaster which sends a pump-out boat. A "Honey Wagon" on the water!
Hi Jay.Is that the houseboat that you see sitting across from Sudbays on 128?
jay--i love the marina/travel lift pics. having once lived for three years in the slip beside the lift, i know the variety of boats in and out, esp in the off-season. keep'em coming.
Frank...Yup, that's the one! It also has been in Jones Creek,Harbor Cove and Smiths Cove.
Hey Jay what are the chances of you getting some shots of the inside of that houseboat?...You knew somebody would ask.....LOL
Frank, I didn't want to be a "peeping Tom" on someone's home but I got close enough to notice it's gutted inside. Looks like they were replacing the flooring.
