• Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. A small boat rescues a
  seaman from the 31,800 ton USS West Virginia
  burning in the foreground. Smoke rolling out
  amidships shows where the most extensive damage
  occurred. Note the two men in the superstructure.
  The USS Tennessee is inboard.

• Pearl Harbor bombing. Destruction. Smoke pours
  from the USS Shaw, bombed dry dock (right center)
  while in the foreground lies the capsized USS
  Oglala, a minelayer. To the left is the 10,000
  ton cruiser, USS Helena, struck by an aerial
  torpedo on the starboard side. The concussion
  caused the Oglala, formerly berthed alongside the
  Helena to flood and she turned over after being
  brought to dock. At the extreme left, may be seen
  some of the superstructure of the USS
  Pennsylvania and at the right appears to be the
  USS Maryland burning
