Ellingwood began his military service in 1936 and underwent recruit training in Connecticut and Rhode Island throughout the year. Throughout 1937, Ellingwood served as a Seaman Second Class on the USS  :Cummings  and after 1938, Ellingwood performed disbursing work on the USS  Tucker  as a storekeeper. In 1940, Ellingwood was transferred as a storekeeper to the USS  Shaw  shortly before it was bombed by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. According to Ellingwood: \"I heard someone shout, \"We're being attacked.\" We all ran to our battle stations. Mine was on the bridge.\" On top of the Shaw, he viewed the Japanese attacking Battleship Row, where he stated that \"one of the most sickening things I watched was the USS  Oklahoma  capsize. To see this big ship roll over and see it go belly up, knowing hundreds of soldiers could be trapped inside, made me feel ill… made me feel useless.\" While Ellingwood ended up in the water after two bombs had struck the Shaw, he spent hours after the attack helping wounded soldiers swim to shore and removing the bodies of his former shipmates.\n \nAfter surviving the attack on the USS  Shaw , Ellingwood served as the Acting Pay Clerk on the USS  Dixie and the USS Fomalhaut  until he attended flight training from 1942 to 1945. Yet in September 1946, Ellingwood joined the Supply Corps -- a career path which remained with him for the rest of his time in the Navy. By the time of his compulsory retirement in 1966, Ellingwood had attained the rank of Commander and his final duty in the service was as a Contracting Officer with the Office of the Supervisor of Shipbuilding, USN. He retired on August 31, 1966. After leaving the service, Ellingwood worked at the Newport News Shipyard for an additional 17 years before officially retiring in 1984. Ellingwood passed away at the age of 90 at his home on June 19, 2008, and his ashes were buried at sea off the coast of Virginia at the request of his second wife, Gavin Ellingwood.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection pertains to Commander Leonard D.

The collection contains audio and visual content of participants from the Race and Change Project including research composed by students taught by Kitty Oliver, and an essay written by Deborah Works entitled \"Historical Sketches and Rare Glimpses of the North Fork of the New River: a history of its natural and human environment\" (2001). The majority of Dr. Oliver's questionnaires, transcripts and interviews consist of ongoing research study of race and ethnic relations, geographical history and social change through the collection of oral histories of Whites, Blacks/African-Americans and immigrants of various Hispanic/Latinx, Caribbean and Asian backgrounds. Research sites include the South Florida cities of Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Miami, Opa-locka, Delray Beach and Boca Raton; North Fork and Liberia – historically significant Black/African-American communities; towns along Florida's landmark Lake Okeechobee; Stranahan High School in Fort Lauderdale; and Ghana, West Africa – where women who have experienced America's racial climate shared their stories."],"separatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://broward.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/default\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSome materials from this collection were cataloged in the Broward County Library catalog with the prefix \"OLI\".\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"],"separatedmaterial_heading_ssm":["Separated Materials"],"separatedmaterial_tesim":["Some materials from this collection were cataloged in the Broward County Library catalog with the prefix \"OLI\"."],"names_ssim":["AARLCC Special Collections"],"corpname_ssim":["AARLCC Special Collections"],"language_ssim":["English"],"descrules_ssm":["Describing Archives: A Content Standard"],"total_component_count_is":418,"online_item_count_is":0,"component_level_isim":[0],"sort_isi":0,"_version_":1876455827155451904,"_root_":"a00ac4456d001c4f5b29b5b6","timestamp":"2026-09-16T03:02:08.218Z"}]}}],"label":"Breadcrumbs"}}},"links":{"self":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog/a00ac4456d001c4f5b29b5b6_aspace_d4ae0dbc29d576a1e94d02b3b3db490e"}},{"id":"a72ffa07f6875e6376599b9c","type":"collection","attributes":{"title":"Leonard Sinke papers, 1943-2003, Date acquired: 07/15/2003, bulk 1943-1945","creator":{"id":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog/a72ffa07f6875e6376599b9c#creator","type":"document_value","attributes":{"value":["Sinke, Leonard, 1924-2016"],"label":"Creator"}},"abstract_or_scope":{"id":"https://flvc.lyrasistechnology.org/catalog/a72ffa07f6875e6376599b9c#abstract_or_scope","type":"document_value","attributes":{"value":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection relates to Leonard Sinke who served as a United States Navy Carpenter's Mate, 3rd Class, in the Pacific Theater with the 109th Naval Construction Battalion (Seabees) during World War II in Hawaii, Roi-Namur, Kwajalein Atoll, and Guam.

He attended the Pass Christian Training School in Mississippi for Merchant Marines before being sent to sea. He was a survivor of a German bomb attack on his vessel which was carrying mustard gas at Bari, Italy, on December 2, 1943, where he was docked onboard the SS John Bascom. He sustained multiple injuries from the bombing and was instantly hospitalized where he met his future wife, Hazel Mary Smith. His injuries were so severe he was honorably discharged from the United States Merchant Marines. Later in life, he developed increasing nerve damage, believed to be from the mustard gas he was exposed to and had his leg amputated. Leroy Charles Heinse died on February 3,  2008. Throughout his life, he actively sought out information on his experiences and those of other survivors of the Bari raid.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection contains papers pertaining to Leroy Charles Heinse's experiences at Pass Christian training school in Mississippi, and as a United States Merchant Marine during World War II, and as an injured veteran after the Mustard Gas bombings of the SS John Bascom.
