This is a small collection of paper items from the USS Indianapolis that span from 1933 - 1943. These items include, "The Royal Works", "A souvenir of the Neptune Party", 16 March 1933; Official Ship Newspaper, "The Hoosier", dated 8 September 1934; 8 "Presidential Cruise" ship printed "Daily News" newspapers dated Nov - Dec 1936; 32 war dated, 1942 & 1943 ship printed "The Deep Sea Daily" newspapers; and 1 postcard dated Dec 21, 1941 sent from a sailor on the Indy while at Pearl Harbor.

 

I wasn't quite sure where to start this discussion since all of these items did not belong to one veteran, so maybe an administrator can move it if necessary.

 

I hope everyone enjoy these items!!

 

Several Photos to follow.

Individual Cover #5. This one is sadly prophetic.

Thanks Tom...I too think these items are pretty amazing.

 

Wolfman, thank you for your comment. When I first saw that cover I got chills thinking that was exactly the fate of the Indy!
