El 12 de enero del año 1925 a las 07:30hs en Puerto Belgrano el aviador mecánico maquinista Segundo Scafino realizaba un vuelo en el Hidroavión Avro 522 número de serie 7, acompañado del marinero Carlos Herrero cuando se encontraba a 100 metros de altura se precipitó violentamente al mar explotando aparentemente por fallas del motor, muriendo ambos tripulantes. Varias lanchas y remolcadores acudieron al auxilio, pero todos los esfuerzos resultaron inútiles el rescate de los cadáveres.
