Up Against the Rocks: The Wreck of the Memphis
In this episode of the U.S. Naval History Podcast, we tell the story of the sinking of the USS Memphis (/Tennessee!), recounting the tragic events leading to the ship's demise as it was dashed against the rocks of the Dominican Republic by rogue waves. Heroic acts by the crew saved most aboard, and this episode highlights the three sailors who earned Medals of Honor for their actions that day.
Released on the anniversary of her wrecking.
