EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a haunting scene from the devastating attack on Pearl Harbour during World War II. The image shows the American destroyers USS Downes and USS Cassin, along with the battleship USS Pennsylvania, severely damaged by the Japanese assault on December 7,1941. The photograph showcases the aftermath of the surprise attack, with smoke billowing from the ships as they lay crippled in Pearl Harbour. The destruction is evident as these once-mighty vessels now bear scars inflicted by enemy bombs. Taken by an anonymous American photographer in the 19th century, this powerful image serves as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice displayed by those who fought in this historic battle. It also highlights the immense impact that Pearl Harbour had on shaping America's involvement in World War II. Published later in "The Second Great War: A Standard History" this illustration offers a glimpse into one of history's most significant events. It stands as a testament to both human resilience and tragedy amidst war. As we reflect upon this photograph today, it serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and reminds us to honor those who served and lost their lives during that fateful day at Pearl Harbour.
