USS Arizona Memorial shoreside dock past its life expectancy; programs suspended temporarily

HONOLULU (KHON2) — A problem with the shoreside dock prompts the closure of the Pearl Harbor National Memorial.

The programs with the US Navy white boats to the USS Arizona Memorial are temporarily stopped.

The National Park Services reports the shoreside dock is past its life expectancy. Waves and tidal movements impacted the dock when the steel collar that connects the dock to the platform was severed in September.

They will restart when National Park Service staff believe it is safe to use.

No reservations are needed to visit the museums, visitor center and see the film. Also no reservations are needed for the Pacific Historic Parks bookstore, audio tour, and virtual reality center.
