NEVER FORGET
FINAL CREW
MISSING PHOTOS
(*) SURVIVOR
(**) SURVIVED SINKING, BUT DIED SHORTLY AFTER
(***) PASSENGER
We are currently working on several projects that will include photos, rare documents, and a section on the final sailing crew, including the 316 survivors and the 879 lost at sea (we also would like to include those killed in the Kamikaze attack in March 1945, as well as the Rescue/Recovery & Former Crew). If you have photos of your loved one, your help is urgently requested.
IF THE NAME OF YOUR LOVED ONE IS LISTED BELOW, WE DO NOT HAVE A PHOTO FOR THEM, AND WOULD LIKE TO FIX THAT!
Modern technology provides the opportunity to share the photo with us so that it may be included in these projects, without it ever having to leave your possession.
Simply scan your photo and send it to us by form submission HERE OR via email. Please identify your loved one in the photo and send it to us at Admin@ussindianapolis.com.
NOTE: THE DEADLINE FOR ANY IMAGES TO BE INCLUDED IN THE UPCOMING VIRTUAL REUNION WAS SATURDAY, JUNE 12. Any photos received after that time will be included in future projects, but we cannot guarantee their inclusion in the 2021 reunion tribute.
If you have photos, but are unable to access them at this time due to quarantine restrictions, please let us know. We'll do what we can to work with you.
If the name of your loved one is NOT on this list, that means we already have a photo for them on file.
