Thought of submarine / early carrier aircraft from the beginning. 73 mph made it easy. You'd be amazed how many seaplanes had max speed 73 mph....

Need some time to scan things. Anyone for OH?

Don't.

(Google 'seaplane "73 mph" inurl:wikipedia', brings 8 responses in 0.1 sec, three first are max speed 73 mph, Hansa comes second)

Yep.......

G'day David. How's life treating you?
Well mate thanks. Went to get the newspaper this morning. Road totally iced over and had to put the car into winter transmission mode, which gets it away in second and limits the torque to the driveline. Still had the traction control light flashing though.

Clever these Germans!

The ice that floats down the river comes in larger pieces now.

Your challenge looks big and passenger-carrying.
