The master bedroom is accessed through the original heavy bulkhead door, and beyond this find a modern bathroom with toilet and bath.

On the opposite side of the central area is a single bedroom with a very charming wooden decor, beyond which is the utility room with a washing machine and dryer, it's own entrance, and the passage to the engine room, where we find the Gardner 6LXB diesel engine and generator.

First built in 1960 as a transport ship, James Jones was then converted to a Tugboat in 1979, and finally internally remodelled to a houseboat in 2004.
