While I don't disagree with the posts suggesting an amalgam of the two boats, its worth pointing out that Christina Hardyment's assertion of the Gondola as the original Houseboat is supported by an illustration in her book showing a postcard of the Gondola with a few alterations sketched on it by AR to show Clifford Webb, his original illustrator, what he wanted Captain Flint's houseboat to look like. This has to provide fairly strong support for the idea that, in external appearance at least, it was the Gondola which was the original model.

Cheers
