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.
