Dutchie's New Amsterdam was inspired by the oldest houseboat in the Netherlands, De Zwerver. Self-taught artist, writer, architect and explorer Wijnand Otto Jan Nieuwenkamp build it in 1900, the year of his marriage. Nieuwenkamp and his family lived, worked and exhibited on the boat while traveling through the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany for the next 10 years.
The houseboat's exterior is completely renovated, but it’s greatest treasure is inside: a beautifully decorated historic building, the original interior a mix of exotic woods, old tiles, decorations and carvings as those by Nieuwenkamp himself.
Houseboat New Amsterdam has a living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom with separate toilet, hallway and two outdoor decks. Unlike the original boat, all these are on one floor. This had to be done because of the water level and camera angle in Second Life.

SIZE AND LAND IMPACT
The houseboat has the land impact of 133 prims. It's 7,5 meters wide and 44 meters long, The boat is easily re-sizable, which will make the prim count go up or down.
PLEASE NOTE: The boat is build as close to realistic size as possible, so is all the furniture in the furnished version. This helps create the most lifelike experience while playing the animations. But due to SL's default camera angle it may need some practice to navigate in it easily.
The ship is mod and copy, 100% original mesh with custom textures, baked shadows and materials applied.
The doors and windows can be set to owner, group, everyone, or a list of names, and can be upgraded for roleplay options.
Included is a plank to use as bridge from a dock to the front door.

The houseboat's interior is an eclectic collection with an emphasis on mid-century modern design. The furnished houseboat has the land impact of 380 prims in total, 133 for the houseboat itself and 247 prims for the furniture and decor.
PLEASE NOTE: Buyers of the furnished version get an ALMOST 30% DISCOUNT on the house and furniture combined.
