Apollo 7 splashed down on October 22, 1968, 200 nautical miles south of Bermuda and only one mile from its aim point.
Notes on verification
Date and general splashdown location confirmed by multiple NASA sources. The 'one mile' precision figure slightly understates NASA's own reported ~1.9-2.2 nautical miles from target, a minor rounding discrepancy but not a substantive contradiction.
