A Bumboat is a small boat used to ferry supplies to ships moored away from the shore. Originally referring to a scavenger's boat, the name comes from the combination of the Dutch word for a canoe—"boomschuit" ("boom" meaning "tree"), and "boat". * In Tobias Smollett's 1748 novel The Adventures of Roderick Random, a "bumboat woman" conducts business with sailors imprisoned on board a pressing tender moored near the Tower Wharf on the Thames River, London, England. * In HMS Pinafore, W.S. Gilbert describes 'Little Buttercup' as a Bumboat Woman. * In Singapore the term "bumboat" is applied to small water taxis and boats that take tourists on short tours. |
