Watch the moving documentary film that features the archival footage of the attack.
A Navy boat will carry you through the Harbor to the famous USS Arizona Memorial. It is an exemplary white structure hanging over the ruins of the sunken battleship. Witness the names of the 1,177 seamen inside the Memorial in the Shrine Room. These are the people who lost their lives in the attack.
