An inspired book about the way in which residents have made water habitable through the use of boats, pontoons, and concrete hulls, creating a separate and sometimes secretive world within a city dominated by water. Historic ships, barges, individual designs, and schemes are documented and described, including plans for utilizing the space that water affords even more effectively in the future.
