Shortly after takeoff, the No. 2 engine surged and lost power. The only suitable landing area in the path of the aircraft was the harbour. The pilot was unable to maintain altitude and the aircraft descended 100 feet per minute until it impacted the water. The pilot then retarded the left throttle and allowed the aircraft to ditch.
