The visit to the Pearl Harbour Memorial was incredibly moving
and we were extremely impressed with the way it's kept.

We went there whilst on our World Cruise in 2006. Very VERY moving,
especially when you see the name of a young man who lost his life with the
same surname. Was he related? Who knows. I calculated by his rank that he
was about 18 :-((

The whole site was very well kept and cared for, but I did feel that it was
a little too 'commercial'.

A TIP FOR FUTURE VISITORS If you are taking the boat trip out to the
Memorial, sit at the front on the Starboard (right) side as you get the best
photographs from there as you approach :-))
