The picture shows the machine in a probably artificial seaplane basin at Warmond (quite a bit away from Scheveningen). Soon after this picture was taken the machine got into flames at the first flight. That was the end of the ‘Lygia’ hydro-aeroplane. The pontoons of this hydro-aeroplane does not look if it will ever go up, no steps are visble. The name ‘Lygia’ can be read on the rudder (on the original picture at least). The machine earned its (little known) place as being the first hydro-aeroplane in Holland, although it did not fly.
