RomerOnline Exhibition of Aviation Photos of Early Miami - Seaplanes
Miami's climate and the calm waters of Biscayne Bay have made it an ideal location for seaplanes to be used. This was a major factor in Pan American Airways' decision to locate their Flying Boat operations at Dinner Key. Many other seaplane services have based their operations in South Florida. This photograph taken on August 22, 1931 shows the Dornier Do-X seaplane on Biscayne Bay.
