Pearl Harbor National Memorial
1 Arizona Memorial Pl, Honolulu, HI 96818, USA
Sunken World War Two battleship wreck beneath a floating memorial, leaking oil decades later.
This guide to the Pearl Harbor National Memorial in Honolulu centers on Quartermaster Lou Conter, aboard the USS Arizona on December 7, 1941, when a bomb ignites the ship's forward magazine and the harbor catches fire around him. Rather than abandoning ship, he pulls burned shipmates from the water while hundreds never get the chance. It traces what divers still call the wreck's weeping black tears. Look for the oil sheen on the water as you listen.
