This page from a 1939 Navy scrapbook offers a panorama of Honolulu as seen by a sailor on shore leave. A dramatic palm-silhouetted sunset opens the page, followed by a sweeping view of the city from atop the Aloha Tower, a street-level scene on bustling Bishop Street with period automobiles, and a coastal glimpse of Diamond Head. Together the images document Honolulu's growing urban character alongside its enduring natural landmarks in the final years before the outbreak of war in the Pacific. Project: 218720
