| Nautilus A 32' Houseboat Home By William & John Atkin |

| A Houseboat Home | |
| |
| As an economical means of living and at the same time a delightful way of life, it is doubtful whether any abode afloat or ashore affords the cheering possibilities of a houseboat. | |
| |
| The plans of Nautilus show a scow-hulled houseboat 32 feet over all, 18 feet wide and 10 inches draft. The depth from deck to bottom is 3 feet 10 inches. The sides are parallel and in profile the bow and stern are alike; 3 feet of overhang both ends. This makes the simplest kind of hull to build; sides, bottom, ends, decks all flat and straight surfaces. The frames, stringers, planking, and decks can be laid with straight square-sided lumber just as it comes from the dealer or saw mill | |
| |
| The interior is laid out for the comfortable accommodation of two. The main cabin is 13 feet 10 inches long and like the balance of the boat has 6 feet 5 inches headroom under the overhead insulation. The galley is of ample dimensions to meet all the requirements of cooking, stowage, and service of two and several meal-time guests. The toilet room is 4 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 6 inches, full headroom, of course, and is fitted with pump closet, wash basin, shelves, and a large hanging locker. | |
