A Ford Trimotor (similar to the one above) crashes into the Pacific near Port Townsend, Washington.  The airliner was operated by British Columbia Airways and flew the Vancouver-Victoria-Seattle run.  The service had only started 9 days earlier.

    The Ford Trimotor was as tough as nails but unfortunately the ocean’s will be harder when trying to land in them!!
