Amphibious Encyclopedia

Every amphibious vehicle in pictures

310 amphibious vehicles from 1905 to 2014, one photo each, decade by decade: the inventors' one-offs, the military amphibians and the production cars and boats.

About this page

The WaterCar shop has a wall covered with amphibious vehicles, from a 1905 three-wheeler with paddles on its back wheels to our own machines. This page is the online version of that wall, expanded: 310 amphibious cars, boats and military machines from 1905 to 2014, one photo each, in year order. Where a vehicle has its own entry in this encyclopedia, its card links to it.

Most of these photos were gathered by two collectors whose websites are no longer online: René Pohl's list of amphibious cars (schwimmauto.de), the list our shop wall was printed from, and Hans Rosloot's Amphiclopedia (amphibiousvehicle.net, 1997 to 2018). We found them in Internet Archive copies of those sites. Many of the photos were sent to the collectors by builders and owners, so the photographer is often unknown. If a photo here is yours and you would like a credit added or the photo removed, tell us.
