The Santa Maria was, according to the original caption, "the largest commercial flying boat in America arrives here (New York) from a record flight from Havana. The Santa Maria holds the record for continuous flights." Cmdr J. McAtes is releasing carrier pigeons with messages for Secretary Denby on their arrival.

Felixstowe F.5
<...>
In late 1919 the Aeromarine Plane & Motor Company of Keyport, New Jersey, modified two F-5Ls to accommodate twelve passengers in two cabins within the hull, which was provided with circular windows. This conversion was known as the Aeromarine Model 75, and the boats were used on the Key West-Havana route operated by Aeromarine West Indies Airways, Inc. They carried hundreds of prohibition-weary passengers to and from Cuba without incident until the collapse of the operating company in 1923, when the air-mail subsidies were withdrawn.
