On 28 March 1910, French aviator Henri Fabre made history by piloting the first seaplane to take off from water under its own power.
The aircraft, known as the "Fabre Hydravion," rose from the Étang de Berre lagoon in Martigues, France, marking a major step forward in aviation.
Fabre's successful flight demonstrated the potential for water-based flight, laying the groundwork for future seaplane development and expanding the horizons of aerial transportation and military aviation.
