A restored Boeing 307 Stratoliner ditched in Elliot Bay off West Seattle back in 2002 when it ran out of fuel on the way to Boeing Field (I know one of the pilots involved - never dared to ask him about it though).
It was hauled out of the water, cleaned up, and was flight worth again about a year later. It was flown to Dulles where it's currently on display at the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy museum.
