From the AP:
“Boat tours of Pearl Harbor's USS
Arizona Memorial to resume”
Some boat tours to the USS
Arizona Memorial in Hawaii's Pearl Harbor will resume this week, the National
Park Service said. The Pearl Harbor National Memorial will open for limited
boat tours to the USS Arizona on Friday, the park service said in a statement
Wednesday. The USS Arizona sank during the 1941 Japanese attack on Hawaii. The
site has been closed for months because of the coronavirus pandemic. National
parks across the U.S. are reopening on as case-by-case basis and in a phased
approach, the statement said. Pearl Harbor tours will consist of a 45-minute
program that includes a ride aboard a U.S. Navy vessel to the site where the
USS Arizona sank. A memorial stands above the sunken ship in the harbor. The
tours will be limited to 50 people at a time and reservations need to be made
in advance. While the number of tours will be limited, people will be allowed
to stay at the memorial site longer than usual.
All guests must wear face masks and memorial officials are following
federal health guidance for mitigating the spread of COVID-19.
^ I’m glad the tours to this
important part of American History is reopening. ^
