EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an ingenious adaptation of a vintage Curtiss H12 Large America flying boat, transformed into a floating dock for its amphibious brethren. The Large America, a remarkable aircraft produced by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company in the 1930s, was renowned for its spacious cabin and impressive range. In this image, we see the Large America moored to a towing lighter, which has been thoughtfully converted into a floating dock. The lighter, typically used for towing larger vessels, has been outfitted with a ramp and securing points to accommodate the flying boat. This innovative solution allows the Large America to rest safely and securely on the water, making it an ideal base for smaller flying boats to take off and land. The tranquil setting, with the sun casting a warm glow over the scene, adds to the serene atmosphere. The reflection of the aircraft and the surrounding boats on the calm water creates a mirror-like effect, enhancing the visual appeal of the photograph. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of aviation enthusiasts, who continue to find creative ways to preserve and showcase these historical aircraft. The Curtiss H12 Large America, with its elegant design and impressive capabilities, remains a beloved icon of aviation history, and this unique adaptation adds another layer to its rich legacy.
