A canoe over the left float just in the case you get stranded?

Red Lake was actually known as the Norseman capital of the world.
Indeed -- I'm surprised anybody here has heard of Red Lake ON! We were there in the summer of 2005 to photograph the annual "Norseman Festival". The organisers were hoping for more than 10 planes, but in the end got about 6 or 7. Things had gotten busy in Manitoba, where several were coming from, and that contingent cancelled. A great time was had by the whole town anyway.
I do love the Norseman.

That can also be done to carry a spare float to a damaged aircraft and carrying other external cargo like that was not unusual in the 60's at least.
Loved the Otter except for the almost non existant directional control on the water on floats. Unless you had a LOT of experience on the type the crosswind component on take off might as well be zero. Even high time pilots could wipe out with as little as five knots.

Quite a few were re-engined with PT-6s but I do not have a clue as to how many remain operational.

Just learned from photo, the STM with floats STILL must be flown solo from rear seat.
