After viewing the introductory exhibits and film, visitors will board a U.S. Navy-operated boat for a brief ride to the USS Arizona Memorial. The 10-minute journey across the harbor is calm and offers views of the surrounding military installations.
- USS Arizona Memorial - The USS Arizona Memorial is a white, open-air structure that spans the remains of the sunken battleship. It is a solemn and quiet place, designed to allow visitors to reflect on the sacrifices made by the sailors and Marines who were lost during the attack.
Viewing the Wreckage: Inside the memorial, visitors can look down into the water to see parts of the sunken battleship. The ship’s outline is visible just below the surface, and oil droplets, often referred to as “The Tears of the Arizona,” can still be seen rising to the surface.
Remembrance Wall: At the far end of the memorial is a wall inscribed with the names of the 1,177 crew members who lost their lives aboard the USS Arizona. This wall serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war.
