Address of Record: Baltimore, Maryland
Built in 1942, the SS Samuel Heintzelman, an American steam-powered merchant ship, was one of the first 'Liberty Ships'.
On May 11, 1943, DANIEL ERNEST ANARINO, who had signed on as Ordinary Seaman (O.S.), was on board as the steamer left Charleston, S.C. bound for Calcutta via the Panama Canal. Unescorted, the Samuel Heintzelman left Fremantle (western Australia) on July 1 carrying 5644 tons of ammunition and general cargo.
After the 4th the ship was reported missing and was believed to have been sunk by a Japanese surface raider. However, on July 9 German submarine U-511 spotted the Samuel Heintzelman in the Indian Ocean, fired several torpedoes and immediately dived without observing the results. Underwater explosions were heard and when the U-boat surfaced there was only debris floating in the water. Wreckage of the ship was found on an island in the Maldives on Sept 30, a day after two empty lifeboats had been seen in the vicinity. Nothing else was ever found.
There were 42 Merchant Mariners, 27 US Navy Armed Guards and six passengers on board. None survived.
