Harris and George, sitting in J's room, smoking, talking and generally feeling seedy, decide that a boat trip up the Thames is just the thing they need to make them snap out of their troublesome state ( the name of which, they just could not decide). Three men in a boat is the fictional account of this motley group. as they sail up and down the Thames. It's a part-comic, part serious travelogue that's full of anecdotes and vividly descriptive pieces on the places and the characters that the three men pass on their trip. Though they set off with much enthusiasm, the three men could have hardly predicted the troubles that would follow them on tis jaunt. From tow ropes that have a mind of their own to weather that is unbelievably unreliable: from pineapple cans that refuse to open to the mysterious disappearance of Harris, this is a classic British humour wih its timelessness and endurability.
