BUMBOAT

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 796 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BUMBOAT ,a small boat which carries vegetables, provisions, &c.; to
ships
  lying in port or off the shore. The word is probably connected with the Dutch bumboat or boomboot, a broad Dutch fishing-boat, the derivation of which is either from
boom
 , cf. Ger. bourn, a tree, or from bon, a
place
  in which
fish
  is kept alive; and
boot
 , a boat. It appears first in
English
  in the Trinity
House
  By-
laws
  of 1685 regulating the scavenging boats attending
ships
  lying in the Thames.
