About this book
In the early 20th century, the Thames sailing barge emerged as a symbol of maritime life, blending tradition with the allure of adventure. "A Floating Home" by Cyril Ionides and J. B. Atkins captures the unique experience of transitioning from a conventional dwelling to a life afloat. The narrative delves into the practicalities of living on water, highlighting the challenges and joys of this unconventional lifestyle. With vivid descriptions and insightful reflections, the authors explore themes of financial pragmatism and the intimate connection between humans and their environment. Ideal for students and civic activists interested in historical narratives and alternative living, this document offers a compelling glimpse into a world where home is defined by the ebb and flow of the tides.
