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:
