USS Arizona Memorial - Pearl Harbor, Hawaii

Designed by: Alfred Preis
Built 1961


The USS Arizona Memorial commemorate the 1,177 men who lost their lives in the tragedy of Peral Harbor. The 184 ft. structure spans the middle of the sunken battleship and allows visitors to see into the wreckage beneath. A simple, white facade lends an air of peace and prevents distraction from the surrounding site. This structure can only be visited via ferry.
