: I understand that at the time of the Coast Guard Report three crewmen were missing, Charles Cook, Eugene Jones, and Hugh Wingo. In a listing of Cedarville's crew in "The Bradley boats" (1995) Jones is the only man listed as missing; Wingo is noted as having been recovered "several years" after the sinking. Does anyone here know if this is correct that Cook and Wingo were found at a later date?
It's been a while.. but I recall that a diver found one crewman years later. He was identified by his beltbuckle.. his (daughter?) said she remembered the buckle from spankings.
