with apologies to Ogden Nash...
The top pic, single engined seaplane is a Sikorsky S-39; 21 made so pretty rare, even then. Three remain today.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_S-39
Still operational but now just a wooden boat dock, nothing like the romantic era of old sea planes taxiing up a inclined ramp! I wish I had a time machine...
Was that a turntable at the front so that the aircraft could be turned around for takeoff?
