The first wooden float for a float plane, found at the Ottawa museum, built by Cree indians back in 1903 for the bargin price of 12 rifles, ammo and a case of whiskey

This is what's left of the first Canadian attempt at a rocket powered seaplane, originally designed to be launched from a B-52. The first flight resulted in some minor delamination of the prototype carbon fiber/tree bark composite fuselage. On the second flight, both bow lights exploded leaving the holes that you see today. Unfortunately, engineers decided not to test using a wind tunnel since wind hadn't been invented yet.<br /><br />The prototype was eventually hijacked and later, when discovered in a dense Cuban jungle, it still had it's Dynon 180 running off of the backup battery. Then the Canadians traded the Dynon for the 12 rifles and whiskey. <br /><br />Then End.<br />

Sasquatch snowshoe?... Maybe, Don Maxwell's first canoe. How about something used to launch planes from aircraft carriers, this would sit underneath them???

Is it the remains of the Curtiss HS-2L flying boat that crashed into Foss Lake back in the 1920's?

Good sleuthing Gord!The original hull of the Curtiss HS-2L flying boat "La Vigilance lay embedded in the silt-covered bottom of Foss Lake, near Kapuskasing, Ontario (most southern folks pronounce that Ka-pussy-kissing) from 1922 until 1969. <p>The beautiful La Vigilance on display was painstakenly reconstructed from the remains of the original.. <p><img src="inline/20073-La_Vigilance__rebuilt_.jpg" alt="La-Vigilance-(rebuilt)"><!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

Curtiss HS-2L's recorded the world's first "bush flight" in June 1919 and a number of Canadian firsts including the first scheduled air service and the first regular airmail service in 1924. <p><img src="inline/20074-Curtiss_HS_2L.jpg" alt="Curtiss-HS-2L"><!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

JD - it might have been the first Canadian scheduled air service, but the FIRST scheduled air service was here in Tampa Bay in 1914. It was a flying boat!
