Some of you might realize I have been on the quest to find close up and detailed images of the Honolulu Harbor Light Station. Why a lighthouse you ask. Well, seems our submarines sailed in and out of Honolulu Harbor daily for a number years before moving to Pearl Harbor with the aid of this light. And, it was always mysteriously in the background of many of the photos. Now, no longer!
Many other Navy ships also sail safely due to that light. It was ultimately replaced by the Aloha Tower and even then its lantern was transferred to that tower so it was still keeping our ships safe. Well, enough. Thanks to the kindness of the folks at the US Lighthouse Society, the people who laid hands of the lines drawings for me, they have found the photos I have been seeking for about 5 years now. http://www.uslhs.org
The story isn't done but is close to it.
Enjoy

Ric, Hard to imagine our submarines being anywhere but in Pearl. Is the harbor where the cruise ships use to or still dock? My only recollection of this is from the movie From Here to Eternity, where Deborah Kerr and Donna Reed toss wreaths in the water as their ship is leaving Honolulu. |

Yes, this is Honolulu Harbor the cruise ships moored the docks at or near the Aloha Tower and famous from all the movies. |
