| Abstract: |
A fabricated floating structure particularly suited for use as a houseboat or the like, characterized by a repetative plurality of interchangeable, prefabricated, modular flotation units, or modules, including closed chambers selectively used to contain flotage, payload, or consumable ballast, and which are adapted to be interchangeably interconnected with beam-like members so arranged and disposed as to form a plurality of trusses extending between the modules, whereby the devices may be rapidly assembled and interconnected into laterally and longitudinally extended truss-like structural components which integrate the modules into a bouyant hull capable of supporting vertically disposed bulkheads forming living compartments and the like.
