Em O Hobbit Gollum vive em uma caverna sob uma montanha próxima a um lago. No entanto, ele tem um barco.

De onde ele tirou isso?

Eu não acredito que haja uma resposta canônica (embora eu esteja feliz por estar errado). Eu sempre assumi que ele construiu um barco do tipo coracle com couros (Orc skin?) E outros pedaços. Afinal, ele cresceu próximo ao Rio Grande e pescou com frequência, então não é implausível que ele possa construir um.

Canon

Canonicamente, não há resposta fornecida nos livros. Ele só tem um barco.

He had a little boat, and he rowed about quite quietly on the lake

Adivinhação

Gollum fez isso

O Gollum é um Stoor (uma raça de hobbit ou hobbit-like ribeirinhos). Parece que eles são perfeitamente capazes de fabricar seus próprios barcos com materiais frescos.

'Long after, but still very long ago, there lived by the banks of the Great River on the edge of Wilderland a clever-handed and quiet-footed little people. I guess they were of hobbit-kind; akin to the fathers of the fathers of the Stoors, for they loved the River, and often swam in it, or made little boats of reeds.

Gollum roubou

O Grande Duende periodicamente envia seus lacaios para trazer peixes de volta do lago. Uma vez que eles sabem que há água lá embaixo, é difícil imaginar que alguém traria um barco rudimentar com eles, ou os materiais para levantar um deles.

They had come on the lake, when they were tunnelling down long ago, and they found they could go no further; so there their road ended in that direction, and there was no reason to go that way-unless the Great Goblin sent them. Sometimes he took a fancy for fish from the lake, and sometimes neither goblin nor fish came back.

Filmes

Na trilogia de filmes de Hobbit, o coracle de Gollum foi construído de peles e ossos de duendes (assim como galhos e pedaços de couro de duende)

Props may often have a reference point in our world while, at the same time, having some aspect to their design or construction that is uniquely Middle-earthly. One such example would be Gollum's coracle. 'It is.' says Paul [Tobin], 'a small one-man boat in the ancient style traditionally used in parts of Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The significant difference, however, is that Gollum's coracle happens to made out of the skin and bones of his Goblin victims!'

Limited availability of Goblin body-parts meant that the prop department had to simulate those gruesome materials as well as making it possible for Gollum to use it in order to paddle across his underground lake.

Gollum’s coracle is made of bits of Goblin skin, bones and a few twigs. He has very limited materials down there so he's made quite a serviceable little vessel with what he had at hand. It’s unclear in the book exactly what his boat was made of or how it got there, but this felt to us like a good, practical alternative to something more traditional. (Alan Lee: Concept Art Director)
