The title identifies this glass negative as a hydroaeroplane, an early term for a seaplane, a flying machine built to take off from and land on water. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency founded by George Grantham Bain, sold news photographs from the early 1900s into the 1920s, and aviation was one of the subjects it covered as flight moved from novelty to news. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified caption information, so the specific machine and its builder remain open to confirmation. The negative still shows how the public first encountered water-borne aircraft.
