Product Details

Lot of 13 vintage color photographs documenting a visit to the Pearl Harbor Naval Base memorials on Oahu, Hawaii, likely taken in the 1970s-80s (Kodak color prints, most with the magenta/purple color shift typical of the era). The set includes: the USS Utah Memorial marker with flag flying, plus multiple views of the partially submerged, rusted USS Utah wreck hull with Pearl Harbor base buildings and a truck visible on shore; the USS Arizona Memorial building spanning the sunken battleship (flag at half-mount, dramatic sky, tour boat), plus a companion Arizona Memorial view from the water; the Arizona Memorial visitor center bronze ship's bell display and a WWII warship scale model in a glass case with plaque (text present but not legible); two views of a rusted turret barbette protruding from the harbor with the Honolulu skyline beyond; and general harbor shoreline/dock views with mooring buoys and flagpole. Locations are confirmed by visible marker text ("U.S.S. UTAH MEMORIAL") and by memorial architecture for the Arizona shots; other harbor views are likely companion frames from the same visit. All photos are color, quality grade 2-4, with expected fading and color shift consistent with age; a few are slightly soft/blurry. No handwritten captions noted. This coherent group documents both major Pearl Harbor memorials in one outing and would make a strong themed lot for WWII naval history or Hawaii travel collectors. Associated with the estate of USAF Col.
