TRAVEL - Hawaii

Chapter 9 - Day 7 on Oahu.

Pearl Harbor
Our first stop on this day was Pearl Harbor.   Pearl Harbor is the location of the Japanese surprise attack on the US Pacific Fleet.    The Pearl Harbor memorial remembers over 2400 people who died that day.   The main memorial at Pearl Harbor is over the USS Arizona.   The battleship was sunk and is the final resting place for over 1100 servicemen.  Of all the ships the Japanese sunk, only the USS Arizona, Oklahoma and Nevada remain at the bottom.  




Dole Pineapple Plantation

Dole Pineapple Plantation and garden is a tourist trap.   The only interesting thing was seeing growing pineapples. 
         


Chinaman's Hat
Chinaman's Hat is a formation out in the ocean which looks like a Chinaman's hat.  It was on the east shore of Oahu.
