From there we proceeded to Pearl Harbor. It still wasn't quite time for our viewing the Introduction Movie so our guidetook us into the Museum and explained many things on view there.
Then on to our movie.
After the movie we then boarded a shuttle ferryover to the Arizona Memorial.
This
was a very solome and touching excursion. It is very interesting and lot's to read and just contemplate on the past and all who lost their lives on that fateful day. Just to even see the Arizona there on the bottom of the harbor under us. If you have never
gone and get the chance to go it is well worth it.
Being a Canadian and especially from Nova Scotia and knowing what happened in our Halifax Harbor when the munition ships blew
up was tragic, but the devastation at Pearl Harbor was even grater. We had help as lots came to our aid, even the city of Boston sent lots of help. But just think, Hawaii is about 5 days away from the rest of the world by ship, they would not have
had help nearly as fast as we in NS did.
