The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: smith doc scans
Citations, deck logs, telegrams, and shipboard snapshots reconstruct a single perilous night: the December 1952 rescue of downed airmen from icy North Korean waters by the crew of USS Renshaw. Centered on Seaman Ronald Morris Tullgren, the documents pair official record with personal photography to show the human stakes of Korean War naval service.
