A boathouse (or boat house) is a building especially designed for the storage of boats, normally smaller craft for sports or leisure use. These are typically located on open water, such as on a river. Often the boats stored are rowing boats. Other boats such as punts or small motor boats may also be stored. Sometimes, a boathouse may be the headquarters of a boat club or rowing club. It may also include a restaurant, bar,and other leisure facilities, perhaps for members of an associated club. Boathouses are also sometimes modified to include living quarters for people, or the whole structure may be used as temporary or permanent housing. In Scandinavia, the boathouse is known as a naust, a word deriving from Old Norse naverstað. These were typically built with stone walls and timber roofs and would be either open to the sea or provided with sturdy doors. The floors would be a simple continuation of the beach sand or rock, or they might be dug down to permit a boat to sail into the boathouse. Edinburgh Canal Society boathouse on the Union Canal.

Q. Hi, I am from Taiwan and I am reading an English novel. I passed beneath the arbour, unlatched the kissing gate and started down the Long Walk...At the end of the Egeskov Garden was the second kissing gate, the forgotten sister(for there is always a forgotten sister), victim of the wiry jasmine tendrils. On the other side lay the Icarus fountain, and beyond, at the lake's edge, the boathouse. What does 'the forgotten sister' refer to here? Does it mean the kissing gate or some kind of tree or flower? Thanks a lot in advance. Asked by ssliao728 - Sat Dec 1 19:43:44 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, it refers to the gate. Perhaps because it is covered in Jasmine and not easily seen like the 1st gate. Thus it is forgotten.
