H.L. Crawford, Who Died When Sub S-51 Sunk, Was Previously Radio Man at Cape Lookout, Oct. 1, 1925

Submarine Victim Was Known in Beaufort

Among the 34 men who lost their lives when the submarine S-51 sank off Block Island near New York a few days ago was H.L. Crawford of Ardmore, Oklahoma.

Mr. Crawford was a radio man at Cape Lookout for some time and was known to a good many people in this section. He left in August for New York where he was assigned to duty aboard the submarine. The vessel collided with a steamer, the City of Roam, in the nighttime and only three men escaped death.
