Hello,
Take a look here - no "See" candidates for your date.

Would help if you named the vessel - don't bother, it was the SS Lanahrone.
Here is a description of the event:
GERMAN AIRMEN SAVED BY BRITISH SHIP.
The rescue of two German airmen from a capsized seaplane is described by Captain T. Gillan, master of the steamship Lanahrone. In a report received by the owners, the Limerick Steamship Company, on Saturday. The Lanahrone was going to Bremen and was five miles from the River Weser when the crew's attention was attracted by a seaplane. Flying very low and pointing south, it dropped distress signals and a few miles farther on the crew sighted another seaplane capsized in the water. A boat was launched and with some difficulty the airmen were taken aboard. Both men were landed at Bremen. The captain and the crew of the British ship have been thanked by the German Air Ministry.
The Times. Monday, 26 October, 1936, p.21.
So the event occurred on Saturday, 24 October, 1936.
