Re: SS Samuel Heintzleman,lost all hands July 1943
Until rather recently there was a website that had information about SS SAMUEL HEINTZLEMAN, including a list of her crew at http://www.heintzelman.info/. It may also have had a photograph of the ship. The website was maintained by a relative of one of the crew. But when I tried to access that website today, I discovered it is no longer online.
I have sent a message to the webmaster of the site to see whether he plans to place it online again. When and if I hear back from the webmaster I'll let you know. He may wish to be in touch with you himself but for now the website has disappeared as mysteriously as the ship herself.
