During the last day of Deutschen Seeflug-Wettbewerb (German Seaplane Competition), which was held in 12-31 July 1926, pilot Ottfried von Dewitz put his aircraft on the water so hard that the front segments of floats broke. Moreover, air traffic control boat "Otto Lilienthal", which came to the rescue, rammed the aircraft, sinking it. The pilot remained unharmed and was credited with the second place in the competition.
