I can't even begin to describe what I'm seeing !

So it's a motorcycle with a boat prow up front and a half-round sofa in the back ?

Skip the sofa part and you are pretty close

So your #7 reply was to both #5 and #6 questions ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #11 on:** May 05, 2015, 03:32:31 PM »

Sorry, I didn't see reply #5, but the answer is yes, it's from the States.

Was Admiral Howell involved ?

Not that I'm aware of.

Built between 1910 and 1920 ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #15 on:** May 06, 2015, 08:16:06 AM »

Later than 1920.

Built between 1925 and 1930 ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #17 on:** May 06, 2015, 08:47:49 AM »

These pics were taken in 1930 circa.

Was it used as some kind of ferry/water taxi on a river or a lake ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #19 on:** May 07, 2015, 05:33:59 AM »

There's no mention of that in my source.

The builder has got an unmistakably Italian name and surname.
The vehicle is named after a lady.
It is pictured in a beach in Manhattan...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #21 on:** August 02, 2015, 04:18:11 PM »

The vehicle is named after a woman.

Wild guess : Madonna, by Paolo Martini ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #23 on:** August 02, 2015, 05:06:40 PM »

Not Madonna but T______

oko94 · « **Reply #24 on:** August 02, 2015, 05:10:05 PM »

Tatiana ?
