Sea tractor

A sea tractor is a motor vehicle designed to travel through shallow seawater, carrying passengers on a platform elevated above a submerged, tractor-like chassis. The sea tractor was most popular during the early 1930s, as a unique way to give scenic tours to patrons of waterfront hotels and resorts. In other applications, sea tractors were used merely as a ferry through shallow waters. Sea tractors are hardly used in present time – as boats, ferries, and other aquatic vessels often serve their function much more efficiently and comfortably.
