The rescued survivors of the heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis being transported on stretchers to a medical facility on the island of Guam in August 1945.... The horrific ordeal of the USS Indianapolis survivors stands as one of the most famous and tragic chapters of naval history. After the heavy cruiser was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine on July 30, 1945, approximately 900 men cast into the Pacific Ocean spent nearly five days enduring severe dehydration, saltwater poisoning, hallucinations, and relentless oceanic whitetip shark attacks before rescue operations finally commenced. #drthehistories

The historical 1956 promotional photograph features models wearing swimsuits fashioned from Ortho Ammonium Sulfate fertilizer bags, posed next to industrial bagging machinery..... In 1956, even farm fertilizer apparently needed glamorous women to help sell it. These models were photographed promoting agricultural fertilizer during an era when advertisers routinely placed women beside products that had almost nothing to do with beauty, fashion or domestic life. Cars got models. Appliances got models. Trade shows got models. And yes, fertilizer got models. The contrast was the point. Postwar advertising increasingly relied on attractive young women to stop people in their tracks, turning everything from industrial machinery to agricultural chemicals into something that could be staged as spectacle. The women themselves were often hired simply as promotional models, expected to smile, pose and draw attention while salesmen handled the technical pitch. Seen today, photographs like this can look almost surreal: carefully dressed models enthusiastically presenting bags of something destined to be spread across a field. But in the 1950s, the formula was remarkably simple. If you couldn't make fertilizer glamorous, put a glamorous woman next to it. #archaeohistories

Errol Flynn was an Australian-born actor who became Hollywood's definitive golden-age swashbuckler before descending into a life of notorious hedonism. He defined the adventure genre in classic films like The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), The Sea Hawk (1940), and They Died with Their Boots On (1941). By the late 1940s and 1950s, heavy drinking, drug use, and failing health eroded his career. He chronicled his chaotic life in his candid autobiography, My Wicked, Wicked Ways (1959). By the spring of 1959, Errol Flynn was 49 years old, one of Hollywood’s most notorious leading men, and nearing the end of a life defined by fame, excess and scandal. The teenage girl photographed beside him was Beverly Aadland. She was 16. Aadland had been a child performer and dancer before entering Hollywood, appearing uncredited in films including South Pacific. She met Flynn while working on the 1959 film Cuban Rebel Girls. Flynn was more than three decades older, married to actress Patrice Wymore, and already infamous for his relationships with very young women. Their relationship quickly became public. On May 5, 1959, photographers captured Flynn and Aadland together at the Lido nightclub near Piccadilly in London. In photographs from the period, they can resemble another glamorous celebrity couple. But Aadland was still a teenager. They traveled together, appeared publicly together and eventually went to Vancouver, Canada, where Flynn was negotiating the sale of his yacht, the Zaca. On October 14, 1959, Flynn suddenly collapsed and died of a heart attack. Aadland was reportedly with him during his final trip. She was 17 years old. Flynn was accused of statutory rape by two teenage girls. Although a jury acquitted him, the ensuing media circus exposed a dissolute lifestyle and birthed the famous American slang phrase "in like Flynn". The story became even more disturbing afterward. Aadland’s mother, Florence, published a sensational account of her daughter’s relationship with Flynn, exposing intimate details to the public and turning Beverly’s adolescence into tabloid material. Beverly later disputed parts of her mother’s version and described a childhood in which Florence had pushed her relentlessly toward Hollywood. For decades, the photographs of Flynn and Aadland were often presented as evidence of the aging movie star’s legendary appetite for women. Look at them now and they tell a different story. A 49-year-old married Hollywood star was openly photographed with a 16-year-old girl, and much of the world treated the scandal as another colorful chapter in the legend of Errol Flynn. #archaeohistories

And no, I’m not bullying anyone. I’m being bullied. I was bullied at school something rotten and for whatever reason I tend to attract bullies and attacks, but I always survive. Always. I’m used to it.
