12184. (photo) U.S. Coast Guard Seaplane Schreck/Viking 00-1 c.1937. Large b/w original photo measures 7 ½” x 9 ½”. Shown is the Schreck/Viking 00-1 seaplane in use during a tragic rescue off Clearwater, Florida in 1937. This was one of six such flying-boats of this type ordered by the Coast Guard. Although somewhat experimental, they were an excellent craft for landing in the open sea. They were placed in operation five stations in the southeast. They were manufactured by the Viking Boat Company and used one Wright Whirlwind R-760 engine. Great detail, clean, clear. (VG+). $38.
