Can you identify this early seaplane?

I've been scanning some old negatives that were found in an old house that was being cleaned out. These two show what looks to me like a pretty early sea plane. I'm pretty sure they were taken in Patchogue, NY, on the Great South Bay, sometime between 1910 and 1917.

Just wondering, really.

Could it be a Curtiss Model 'F'?

I am sure you are correct S'land.

That looks right. What would it be doing in a (at the time) little town in Long Island. Barnstorming? Mail? Just wondering.
