Surviving Examples
Sikorsky S-42 NC823M is fully submerged near Antilla airport (MUAT) in Cuba. It crashed in 1944 during takeoff, the aircraft striking the water with such force as to cause the hull to fracture and completely separate at a point just aft of the pilot's compartment. There are no plans to recover the wreck.
Another sunken wreck is located near Botwood, Canada, which was one of the stops on Pan Am's trans-Atlantic Clipper service. The Avalon Historical Aircraft Recovery Association is looking for this S-42.

Famous quotes containing the words surviving and/or examples:
“The misery of the middle-aged woman is a grey and hopeless thing, born of having nothing to live for, of disappointment and resentment at having been gypped by consumer society, and surviving merely to be the butt of its unthinking scorn.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
