I thought that Hospital Point was on the western side of the harbour entrance? No access to my books atm.

:cheers:

Well the hospital is on the east bank.. although google earth also calls the W. side Hospital point...odd??



Scene at the Ford Island Naval Air Station's seaplane base soon after the Japanese attack. Several PBY patrol planes are parked on the apron, some near the wrecked hangar at left. The battleship Nevada (BB-36) is beached in the left distance, with smaller ships alongside her bow.



This photo is looking down the channel at Pearl Harbor on December 8,1941. The Nevada (BB-36) is visible at the far right of the photo, aground at Waipio Point being assisted by salvage craft. After first running aground at Hospital Point, to the left, the ship was moved by tugs to her present location to avoid bottle-necking the channel for ship traffic.
