Solved - a family that lived in a boat/home

[Ant]

I remember a book that had a family in the 1800's that lived in a old beached ship. They had turned it into a home. The main character would come and visit them in their boat/home. I think it was a Charles Dickens novel but not sure. Does anyone know the title of this book?
