Wikisource has an original article from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica about:

A bumboat is a small boat used to ferry supplies to ships moored away from the shore. Originally referring to a scavenger's boat, the name comes from the combination of the Dutch word for a canoe, "bomschuif" ("bom" meaning "tree") and "boat".

In Singapore the term "bumboat" is applied to small boats used to take tourists on short tours.
