Memorabilia, in the form of text or graphics, can be posted on this page for all to see, but you have to be willing to send it.

There are documents, newspaper clippings and letters concerning the accident in the hands of survivors, kin, friends and interested parties. There are photos hidden in albums of sailors and their ships that should be shared with others. Some of these should be safeguarded electronically for the future.

Submittal of Memorabilia Instructions:

Most documents, letters, newspaper clippings and photos can be scanned and added to a web page for all to see. If you can do the scanning and attach your file to an email, an electronic transfer will take place, and there is no need to send the original. Make sure that your photo files are saved as either .jpg or .gif files. Click on the words "I'm sending memorabilia in the form of an attachment to my email", and when your email opens up, enter your subject matter as "document file" or "newspaper clipping file" or "letter file" or "photo file"; then write something about the item. Also, include your full name, home address, email address, telephone number, and if applicable, the name(s) of the sailor(s) and/or ship(s). Then go through the steps to "insert an attachment" in your email program. Finally, click your send button and relax. When you send the file, you also transfer the copyright to this web site. Memorabilia will be posted on this page, as server storage space allows.

Click "I have a souvenir" from the accident, if you have something other than what is described in the above paragraph; then describe it in your email. Include your full name, home address, email address and telephone number in your email. Do not send the item. The info you supply will be posted in the table below.
