Waterfront View of Naval Quarters, Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, 1945
This 1945 photograph looks across a calm lagoon toward naval quarters on Ford Island, the air station at the heart of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Framed by coconut palms and tropical foliage, the peaceful residential scene stands in quiet contrast to the island's pivotal role in the Pacific war, captured here in the final year of World War II.
