Today, July 30, 2024, marks 79 years since one of the greatest Navy tragedies of World War II darkened our nation’s maritime skies. Robert Shaw’s mesmerizing performance in 1975’s “Jaws” introduced a new generation to the tragedy of the USS Indianapolis, a ship that sank in 18,000 feet of water and has never been salvaged. Now, a singularly unique artifact from the Indianapolis can be found in Indiana. Come aboard and learn the story of the unexpected bell.
