After four years of searching, divers Ryan King, Jeff Kudrow, Danny Allen, and Bob Foster discovered the Eagle 56 shipwreck, lost for over 70 years. The team kept their discovery secret to gather evidence before notifying the Navy. As word spread, families of the fallen crew, like Clara Cunningham Osbourne, came forward. Clara shared her brother James Oliver Cunningham's story, who joined the Navy after high school and was not supposed to be on the ship that day. His family hoped for his return, but he was never found.
