WWII: Sinking The Supership Yamato - Talk at Sanibel Library
Ed Sieber, WWII Veteran and Sanibel resident, relates his role in sinking the Japanese battleship Yamato in April of 1945.
Yamato, along with her sister ship Musashi, were the largest battleships ever built in history. Weighing 72,800 tons and outfitted with nine 18.1-inch guns, the battleship Yamato was Japan’s only hope of destroying the Allied fleet off the coast of Okinawa.
Sieber is a Navy Veteran who was awarded Silver Star and two Distinguished Flying Crosses.
Sieber will speak at the Library at 10 am on January 30.
Locals and visitors are welcome to attend this Library Program.
