Nearly 80 years after the attack on Oahu, we remember the historic tragedy that claimed the lives of 2,390 Americans. Hear the remarkable story of the salvage project that engaged to raise the U.S. Pacific Fleet of 21 damaged or sunken U.S Navy ships. Today, two ships still rest permanently in the hallowed waters of Pearl Harbor, serving as relics and memorials to a tarnished memory in our history.
Join us as we hear from Daniel Martinez, Chief Historian for the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, who will share why these two sunken ships, the USS Arizona and USS Utah, forever memorials, are so important to our society as material culture. We will discuss why monuments exist specifically to transport us to a place where we otherwise can't go - preserving a moment that will never die.
