Mr. Harry Hawker and his navigator Commander Mackenzie<br />
Grieve, commenced their attempt at the first non-stop<br />
transatlantic crossing in the afternoon of 18 May, 1919. After<br />
many problems Hawker decided to ditch in the sea and he and<br />
Grieve were rescued by the Danish ship "Mary". The<br />
aeroplane "Atlantic" and the precious bag of mail were<br />
salvaged by the S.S. Lake Charlottesville on 23 May. The<br />
water-soaked mail was dried, stamps placed back on the<br />
envelopes, and handed to the postal authorities on 29 May,<br />
reaching London the next day.<br />
