Harbor View with Floating Mooring Structures, Possibly Pearl Harbor Vicinity, 1954
Labeled 'USS Arizona 1954,' this quiet harbor photograph shows floating mooring structures on a calm bay beneath an overcast sky. While no ship or memorial structure can be positively identified from the image alone, the label suggests it was taken in the vicinity of Pearl Harbor's Ford Island mooring quays, near the resting place of USS Arizona, in the years before the present memorial was constructed in 1962. Images such as this illustrate how personal photo collections often preserved everyday, low-key views of historically significant locations. Project: 218507
