Saw the photo.
Could well be wrong - but I think it's the silhouette with floats?

Hi Trevor.

None of those mate.

To me - the photo is deceptive and it looked like a large aircraft with a radial.
The photo appears all over the internet but places like Pinterest never discuss the aircraft's identity.

Then I found it on The Dreamy Dodo which does describe the floatplane.
I was surprised.

According to wiki - 15,000 were built.

Not surprised really!

That's what I thought and why I looked at the Piper Cub and moved on!!

Well, that's gotta be the Piper PA-18 Super Cub innit??
