    Nice. I’m surprised that the guy wasn’t run into by the other vessels.

    I can remember when the Amphicars were new. It was said of them that they were typical amphibians. They could go on land and in the water but were not well suited to either.

    In Poland we have a book character, who is called "Mr. Samochodzik" (Mr Car), and he has the same vehicle. Nice picture :)

    I’d wear a life jacket if I were them.
    With all the wash from the nearby boats
    and wave, I’d want a bilge pump as well.

    valuable shot

    How fun. I love that you have added the history for each picture. We found old glass negatives in my Grandmothers belongings when she passed. No one knew about them. We can only guess as to who they may be as they are from the 1850s approx. We wish we knew.

    Hi Deanna2003,
    Your glass negatives may be important and you should take them to your nearest city library, museum or historical society for advice. If they are from the 1850’s, they are fairly rare and early in the history of photography
