There was a time back in the late 1940's and early 1950's when there were seaplanes based here in East Liverpool on the Ohio river.
The planes were docked at the foot of Broadway.
The planes allowed people to take a ride over the city in one of the seaplanes flown by one of the pilots who worked there.
If a person had a valid pilot's license they could fly one the plane themselves. It is possible one or more of the planes were owned by local residents.

Regular linking, i.e. providing the URL of the East Liverpool Historical Society web site for viewers to click on and be taken to the East Liverpool Historical Society entry portal or to any specific article on the website is legally permitted.
Hyperlinking, or as it is also called framing, without permission is not permitted.
Legally speaking framing is still in a murky area of the law though there have been court cases in which framing has been seen as violation of copyright law. Many cases that were taken to court ended up settling out-of-court with the one doing the framing agreeing to cease framing and to just use a regular link to the other site.
The East Liverpool Historical Society pays fees to keep their site online. A person framing the Society site is effectively presenting the entire East Liverpool Historical Society web site as his own site and doing it at no cost to himself, i.e. stealing the site.
The East Liverpool Historical Society reserves the right to charge such an individual a fee for the use of the Society’s material.
