| Description |
English: The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Gridley (DD-92) arrives on the scene of the foundering NC-1 seaplane during its trans-Atlantic flight, as seen from USS Harding (DD-91), May 1919. A whaleboat from Harding is standing by the disabled airplane. NC-1 was forced to land on the open Atlantic Ocean because the poor visibility and loss of a visual horizon made flying extremely dangerous. NC-1 was damaged landing in the rough seas and could not become airborne again. It sank three days later while under tow. |
