Quick Local Tip: In the black-and-white film before boarding the Arizona ferry, watch for the scene showing the crew raising the ship’s anchor. Afterward, walk straight ahead from the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center entrance where the actual USS Arizona anchor is on display in the open plaza near the shoreline, connecting the film directly to what you’re standing beside.
