Shipwrecked at Sea

4/11/26 Shipwrecked at Sea 1984

In 1945, Edgar Harrell, was on the USS Indianapolis that delivered the components for the atomic bombs that won WWII but was sunk by a Japanese submarine. Blown up at midnight, he jumped for his life into the oil soaked, murky-black, freezing water! Hundreds of men died, some instantly, some later. Listen to this harrowing experience. For 4 ½ days, he desperately tried to stay alive as others perished. Although he was exhausted, dehydrated and very cold, he had a peace only Christ can give. He saw his buddies being eaten alive by sharks, but he said, “God’s Presence gave me great strength to persevere.”
