The S.23 flying boats lacked the range to cross the big pond with payload but a limited route was opened between the British territory of Bermuda and New York or Baltimore. Cavalier was actually shipped to Bermuda. Suffering icing, the aircraft ditched en route from NY - Port Washington to Bermuda on 21 January 1939 and three of the 13 people on board lost their lives.
