...that the tragedy took place.  I don't know how anyone can ever forget the courage and bravery of these wonderful men, many just boys. May God bless them all, especially the survivors who lived with this painful memory for so long.

Hi Bobbysniece,
THis is Miriam, Lt. Robert Whitmans great-niece.  I was wondering where you got this picture of the crew on the ship.  It won't expand and I would love a copy.

Can't believe I never heard of this story until this week.

I am not a war buff at all.

But I love stories of true survival.

And this one ranks up there on the top.

These men had incredible intestinal fortitude.

I don't think I could of held out a day..

and how some were able to save others from doing themselves in such as keeping them from drinking salt water or just feeding themselves to the sharks is just even more incredible.

It would be enough to try to save yourself..
