Before cancellation, (according to "NASA OMSF, Manned Space Flight Weekly Report - July 28, 1969.") Apollo 19 was scheduled to land on the Moon at Hyginus Rille region in July 1972. Other NASA sources list the landing site as Hadley in September 1972. Following the failure of Apollo 13 the landing sites for the remaining moon landings were changed accounting for these discrepancies.
The mission would have been like the last three flown Apollo flights — extended stay on the lunar surface with three Lunar EVAs.
The Command/Service Module that would have been used on the mission was CSM-116, which flew on Skylab 2. LM-13, the Lunar Module was not completed but was partially completed by Grumman and is on display at Cradle of Aviation, Long Island, New York. The Saturn V that would have launched the mission, SA-514, was unused. Its first stage is at the Johnson Space Center and second and third stages are at the Kennedy Space Center.
