This book, of local interest, is available online, A Floating Home. It was subsequently re-issued as a “A Floating Home and Born Afloat” by the son of the last residents of the barge in question who moved to Waldringfield along with parts of the deck house which still stands just off Cliff Road. The extra ‘Born Afloat’ section, is not online but the book is still available and a good read. The later edition includes some sketches by Frank Carr and an ‘Essex Vocabulary’. See House Barges at Waldringfield.
