Houseboat New Amsterdam Furnished

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 its 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, and bathroom with a 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.

This is the PG-furnished version of the houseboat. It is also available furnished with adult furniture, inworld at Dutchie.

SIZE AND LAND IMPACT

The houseboat has a land impact of 111 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 built as close to a realistic size as possible, and 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 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 the owner, group, everyone, or a list of names, and can be upgraded for roleplay options.

Included is a plank to use as a bridge from a dock to the front door.
