An appeal to the families

We wish to contact the families of the crew members for whom we do not yet have a photograph, so that we can honour every one of them and leave no gaps. Overcoming grief for the sake of the memory of future generations.

Antonio Herrero Monsalve

The only body recovered was that of Radio Officer Antonio Herrero Monsalve. He was found on December 23, 1964, among the rocks of Ulak Island, alongside two other bodies that could not be retrieved “due to the dangerous nature of the location”.

A wristwatch and a Saint Christopher medal were recovered with him. He was buried at the cemetery in Anchorage (Alaska).

The remaining 31 crew members were officially declared dead in 1973, nine years after the wreck.
