Smaller than a Sunderland?

Maybe a Grumman? Albatross, Malard, Goose, Widgeon. Unless the Mars is over for a visit.
All of the above are flying boats, not seaplanes. A flying boat has a fuselage which is hull shaped and sits in the water. A seaplane has floats which lift the entire fuselage above the water.
