The Boathouse is a house in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire in Wales in the United Kingdom, in which the iconic poet Dylan Thomas lived with his family between 1949 and 1953, the last four years of his life. It was in this house that he wrote many major pieces. The house is set in a cliff overlooking the Tâf Estuary. Dylan Thomas, born 27 October 1914, died 9 November 1953.
