Recovery Photographs

The photographs in this collection come from 2 sources: 1) a selection of images and used by Dr. Shilling in his numerous talks on the activities and events surrounding the rescue efforts, and 2) photographs taken from July-September 1939, during the Navy's effort to raise and recover the submarine.

Image titles have been transcribed from handwritten notes on the back of the photographs.
