Houseboat Museum
The quirky Houseboat Museum, a 23m-long sailing barge from 1914, offers a good sense
of how cosy life can be on the water. The actual displays are minimal, but you can watch a
slide show of eye-popping boats, and inspect the sleeping, living, cooking and dining
quarters on board. In case you were wondering: most vessels have sewerage hook-ups.
