The heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis is steaming along at 17 knots on its way to the Philippines after delivering the atomic bomb to Tinian Island - the very bomb that will be dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The "Indy" is lined up for a perfect shot from the Japanese submarine's 'long-lance' torpedoes. Of a crew of over 1,100 men, approximately 900 survived the two torpedo strikes and entered the warm Pacific waters. For 5 days and 4 nights, these survivors endured the tropical sun, thirst, hunger, and worst of all, a mass, shark attack. Of the over 900 men that went into the water, only 317 survived. Signed by 3 Survivors of the U.S. Navy's greatest sea disaster of WWII. Print Size: 27" x 36". Image Size: 22" x 32".
