Cassiopeia crashed at Sabang on 29 December 1941, hitting debris on take-off while carrying a load of ammunition from India to Singapore following the outbreak of the Pacific War. The flying boat is seen with a type of embarkation raft first used in April 1937, designed to prevent damage to the hull. From 1938, passengers boarded straight from the shore at Berth 108 in the port of Southampton, rather than from the Hythe facility.
