Excellent and very interesting shot. Fantastic details!
Great capture
Excellent capture Sig, it looks huge, and thanks for the information, very interesting, I wonder why it is still there? Is it a monument to the brave crew and all the other victims? Left there as a sign of respect? Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
Beautiful capture!
went here in 1986 with my father thanks for that memory wonderfully shot!!
What a wonderful capture of history, Sig. Fantastic shot.
Very interesting! Also slightly scary, I don't like sailing or swimming near this sort of thing.
Interesting capture, Sig!
a strong image!
A poignant war grave, Siegfried. I understand that the escaped oil is known as the 'Tears of Pearl Harbor'. I am sure we have all seen documentaries about the attack, and the sufferings of the sailors and airmen, civilians and families on that December Sunday morning. I read a paperback history of it in 1966/67. It was a publication of the New American Library, many of whose remaindered volumes I picked up in the local Woolworths' store. Warm regards, John.
did not know it was still there. cool shot
That is first class
a remembrance of those brave sailors that lost their life at Pearl Harbor.the background is beautiful
War grave. Too dangerous, even back in 1941, to enter to try to recover the remains of the crewmen who died that day. The wreck is even more fragile and dangerous now.
great capture...
