Davy Keenan has lived on water for more than 50 years and now spends his time with his dog JoJo aboard ‘Little Gem’.
The craft is a World War Two tug boat, one of only four left globally.
The vessel holds a fascinating history, playing a role in the D-Day landings bringing supplies to the Mulberry harbours.
“Nice and comfortable, nice and relaxing, can’t beat it, no neighbours,” Davy says of his nautical bolthole.
