Dec 31st, 2017: Astoria
Astoria is a boat, a houseboat, a houseboat & studio owned by David Gilmore.
Shows what you can have when you get money for nothing and chicks for free. It was built in 1911 for 20,000 ($2,649,863 in 2017 US dollars) for Fred Karno, a vaudeville comedian who is credited with the pie in the face gag. A 90 foot long steel hull (which was just replaced), Mahogany framed, Crittall windows, and a deck large enough for a 90 piece orchestra. Of course being on even protected water during exceptional storms extra measures (read tying off to big trees) must be taken. Gilmore bought it in 1986. He added the recording studio’s 20x30 foot control room to the three bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, a big lounge. Quote:

I don't think it goes anywhere normally. Like Jaba the Hutt, it's so cool it doesn't have to go on tour.

Money for nothing? David Gilmour?
This beautiful boat was never intended to go anywhere. |

Heh heh, I've seen hundreds of Crittall windows and never knew they had a name, no less they are a "school" of window design and architecture. I learn too.
