THE ACFT OVERRAN THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RWY AND COLLIDED WITH A DITCH DURING LANDING. THE WEATHER WAS VMC. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT 2 GO-AROUNDS HAD BEEN MADE BECAUSE THE ACFT WAS HIGH. ON THE 3RD APPROACH A TOUCHDOWN WAS MADE ABOUT 1/2 WAY DOWN THE 2500 FT RWY. THE PILOT THOUGHT SHE COULD STOP SO SHE RETRACTED THE FLAPS AND USED THE BRAKES. THE ACFT DID NOT STOP AND THE COLLISION WITH A DITCH FAILED THE NOSE GEAR.
