Some people may choose to live on water for the pleasure and enjoyment of having a home that is different from the homes of most others. Others live on water because they have nowhere else to live. Some people work on or close to the water, so they make their homes nearby. Throughout history, people have lived on water as a protection from enemies, wild animals, and flooding.
In many parts of the Far East, people live on boats. These floating homes are often tied up close together by the banks of large rivers or in a harbor. People can jump up from boat to boat without getting wet. Babies and young children sometimes have a block of wood tied to their backs so they will float if they fall in the water.
Some of the floating homes were sailboats used for fishing. They are now too old to sail, so they are used as houseboats instead. When people go ashore, they walk over a small wooden bridge called a gangplank which stretches from the boats to dry land.
Many houseboats in Kashmir in northern India are wooden houses with more than one story built on a wooden hull. The people that live in these houseboats use smaller boats to row from their homes to shore.
When boat-dwellers migrate from one place to another they often take their homes with them. Many work in their boats as well as eat, sleep, relax, play, and raise their families there.
The Bajau people—often called sea gypsies or pirates live on boats and travel between islands in Southeast Asia. The Bajau live on small sailing boats called lipas which are less than 26 feet long. A frame of poles, which extends over the sides of the boat, is covered with woven rushes. The boat is kept steady by outriggers, which are long, stabilizing poles at each side.
In the port of Hong Kong, many people live on houseboats. Many families cannot afford to buy houses on land and even some who are wealthy prefer to live on boats. Most boats are now powered by motor, but a few are sailboats. The harbor is crowded with boats, which have canvas or wooden roofs to protect people from the sun. Washing is dried over the flat roofs that are even strong enough to walk on.
A sampan—used as a home by poor people—is a much smaller boat, which can be used for catching fish or as a ferryboat to take people across the water. Sampans often havecanvas covers to give protection from rain and sun. In most parts of the Far East, sampans have only one mast, but in the Hong Kong, some have two.
