Note, RT2c Clarence William Donnor is, in many sources, listed as the 317th survivor. However this is a historical error. He embarked the ship when at California, but was recalled to shore thirty minutes later and left the ship. His name was on a passenger list since he was to be transported to the Pacific theatre, but someone failed to remove his name from that list before Indianapolis sailed. It was this error which has caused the confusion for so many years. |
