 History
The
SUNSET houseboat is a river boat. It used
to transport
goods. In the old days, the shipper and his wife slept in the
back
of the boat in a very small space together with their
children. The former owner of this
houseboat, was a
shipper too. One day his two children, a boy and a girl, didn't want to
sleep in one bedroom anymore; they wanted go to a 'normal' school and
stop moving around. So, he bought this houseboat, took the motor out,
replaced the old roof, and built with his own hands bedrooms for each
of his children to sleep in separately.
While
he would transport goods with his original boat, he would leave this
boat with his children living on it, in Amsterdam. Later, the children
decided that they didn't want to share a bathroom and a kitchen
anymore; they wanted to live separately and form their own families…
So, the shipper bought two new boats for each of his children… and sold
this one to us.
