On the occasion that a seafaring vessel is retired, it's usually broken down for scrap or sunk to create an artificial reef. But in some cases, ships get a second lease on life... on land. When Boats Into Buildings comes into play, marine vessels are hauled out of the water and used to create permanent land-based structures. Homes are the most common example, but businesses, schools, town halls, even secret bases and storage sheds are all options. The ships might be taken apart for raw material to create new buildings, but more often they're re-purposed without the need for too much deconstruction. In the simplest case, ships can be dragged ashore and hooked up to utilities like an RV. In others, the boats might be flipped upside down to create a sturdy, pre-built roof from the water-tight hull. Note that these aren't just structures that superficially resemble ships - actual boats must have been used in the construction in order to qualify. This trope also tends to exclude modern craft constructed out of fiberglass, rather focusing on medium-to-large wooden boats and large metal-hulled ships. note Fiberglass is difficult to recycle without access to expensive modern facilities to cut, mulch, pulverize, and/ or chemically decompose the material, whereas wood can be hewn and metal can be shaped to fit the needs of the builder. The (relative) cheapness and availability of fiberglass crafts in modern times also means they aren't romanticized the way wooden and metal ships are — few people will view a derelict fiberglass hull as suitable building material or as a proud ship worthy of preservation and reconstruction on land. In fiction, a beached boat such as this might be the home of an extra-quirky Houseboat Hero, or the retired form of a Cool Boat. Compare and Contrast with Saharan Shipwreck (when a boat on dry land serves as a surreal set piece) and City on the Water (wherein cities are constructed so as to float on the water like a boat). Thanks to the rise of museum ships, this trope is Truth in Television, and with the preservation of a handful of ocean liners such as RMS Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth 2 - both of which have been turned into hotels - you really can live aboard a vessel that once went to sea without ever having to put even a toe into the water. |

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Zaton is a swamp that houses a few rusty derelict ships that stalkers have adapted as refuge or housing. The biggest and most well-preserved of them, the Skadovsk, is the central point of the whole region and where you can find several traders and the resident weapons tech; it even has power, thanks to stalkers repairing the ship's engine to work as a generator. | |

Rocketship Voyager. Spaceships are routinely given second lives as construction material for planetary colonies, with their reactors used to provide power. This is a factor when Captain Janeway has to decide whether they will take the long hazardous journey back to Earth, or settle down on a planet. If they try the latter it will mean dismantling Voyager, leaving them stranded and unable to defend themselves against Orbital Bombardment. | |

Dungeon Keeper Ami: Zig Zags the trope. Ami's Iceburg Dungeon Ship was originally constructed in an underwater cavern before being floated to the surface to expand the structure and move about the sea. When the dungeon reaches its destination in the Avatar Islands, it is solidly affixed to the coastline with even more ice, like a glacier calving in reverse. Later chapters mention that there's an underground tunnel connecting the iceberg to the mainland. | |

The village of Bilgewater in Dinotopia: Journey to Chandra was built from the hulls of three galleons — the Prince of the Seas, the Royal Vanguard, and the Advance — that wrecked on the reef surrounding the island. With the help of dinosaur muscle for the heavy lifting, the ships were floated to the surface, dragged to their permanent home, sawed in half, and set upright to create a unique community. | |

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: A downplayed example can be found when rock troll is accidentally recruited by the Redanian army and joins up with a unit who are trying to protect a fleet of boats that have been "requisitioned" from some peasants. In an unusually literal case of Insane Troll Logic, the troll decides "boats guard boats!", rips some of the boats apart and uses the timber to build a crude fence to protect the rest of the fleet. The cave used as a hideout by the Grossbart Brothers on Ard Skellig contains a few wrecked longboats that have been converted into a rudimentary shelter. |

In Hook, the pirates' town is mostly built from beached ships stacked on each other, with the stuffed crocodile used as a clock tower in the central place.

The third campaign of Critical Role opens in the Marquesian city of Jrusar, which contains the general magical goods shop "The Trove of Marwa." The shop is described in Episode 12 as a wooden ship set down on the Lantern Spire, far from the ocean. note "it looks like a building built out of a shipwreck in the middle of a city in the Oderan Wilds. So whether there was a ship here and then they just hollowed it out and made a building, or they brought pieces of a ship to decorate it, but in the middle of all these various shapes and the heights of structures in this industrial district here in the the upper echelon of the Lantern Spire, you see this cocked and upward-angled sunken ship, but out in the open air. You can see port holes along the side." According to current proprietor Marwa Endalia, a storm swept the ship up and deposited it in Jrusar. Her father gained custody of the ship from a city official who owed him a favor, eventually sprucing it up and converting it into a shop. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: The show Plays With the trope where it overlaps with Shipshape Ship Wreck. The homes and businesses of the underwater city of Bikini Bottom all have a nautical theme to them, naturally including boats and parts of boats (alongside other maritime flotsam, jetsam, lagan and derelict) in the construction. Most of the buildings appear to be made from old smokestacks, but there are examples of structures made from repurposed boats: The Fancy! restaurant seen in episodes like "Chocolate with Nuts" and "Krusty Love" is a full-sized ship in a bottle. Goofy Goober's ice cream parlor and the Museum of Boating are both large boats. The Bikini Bottom Museum is a sunken Viking longship. The Thug Tug, which appears in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, is a rough-and-tumble Bad Guy Bar located in a sunken, ill-kept tug boat. |

The King's Quest franchise includes multiple examples: King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder! had the deaf Fisherman who lived in the bow of a ship standing vertically. It's not shown whether the whole ship is buried in the island or it's literally all that remains of it. In King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow, the Green Isles ferry has been drydocked for so long that it's beyond repair (at least conventional repair). Even so, the ferryman still lives in the ship's cabin. |

League of Legends and Legends of Runeterra: Boats as parts of buildings are a common architectural feature of the sea-serpent-hunting (and occasionally pirating) city of Bilgewater. When Butcher's Bridge is the active ARAM map in League, you can actually see a few in the background, while the Bilgewater cosmetic board in Legends of Runeterra might also be an in-game case of this. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door: The Bizarrchitecture treehouse bases from which KND agents operate are constructed out of a combination of local buildings, monuments, and vehicles — which often includes ships: The Treehouse in Sector V, out of which the protagonists operate, includes the prow of a large cruise ship. Greek Sector Treehouse has two cruise ships incorporated into the structure. Peruvian Sector Treehouse has what looks like an old fishing trawler incorporated into the structure. Kids Next Door Arctic Training Base and Prison plays with the trope: the "treehouse" is built into the roots of a lone pine tree that appears to grow out of the arctic ice, with salvaged structures including a large cruise ship hidden below the surface. Not technically land-based, but it fits the spirit of the trope. The Central Bike Hub in Sequoia National Park, California is built into the branches of a Redwood tree and includes a large ship. Zigzagged in the Deep Sea Science Lab, with is underwater. The salvaged oil platform and cruise ship that make up the base are tethered to the ocean floor by seaweed, resembling the treehouses operatives utilize on land. Despite being on the moon, the first KND Moonbase included both a cargo ship and a submarine in the structure. The Seriously Cool Museum of Artifacts and Stuff was built with what looks like a Spanish galleon in the branches of the tree. The Super Convention Center, perched in the branches of a tree atop the Empire State Building, has a large cruise ship parked on top of an airport as part of the design. Sector J's Treehouse base, in Jamaica, is a treehouse built on a palm tree. A large cruise ship with what looks like a cannonball hole in the side is part of the design. The Sector U Treehouse in Guatemala appears to have a small boat hung on a lower bough. |

In SPY Fox in Dry Cereal, SPY Corp has set up its Acidophilus base in the cabin of a ship that is buried underground. Only the ship's bow can be seen aboveground, where it is disguised as a phone booth. Fox has to enter a special phone number in the "phone booth" in order to activate a secret elevator to access the base. | |

In Dragonlance, the city of Tarsis was a major port until the Cataclysm changed the sea levels and made it landlocked. Some 200-300 years after the Cataclysm, some of the stranded ships have been converted into buildings. | |

In King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow, the Green Isles ferry has been drydocked for so long that it's beyond repair (at least conventional repair). Even so, the ferryman still lives in the ship's cabin. | |

In Titan A.E., the last remnants of Humanity have chosen to live something of a nomadic life instead of collectively seeking out a new world to settle on. There are drifter colonies all over the galaxy haphazardly cobbled together from the various vessels used to escape from Earth when it was destroyed. | |
