Chinese quages
Earlier I marveled at the Hix picture of a floating island in Massachusetts, called the Quage. On further reading it turned out that floating islands are not unusual in that area.
A French journal in 1876 reported that China had superior floating islands. Instead of drifting in a quiet pond, these floating islands actually navigated up and down the Yangtze like barges, sustaining a village on board.
