That was pretty cool. I would imagine it is probably just a coincidence, or a trick of the light, kind of like all of those photos that show the face of Jesus appearing in a forest or Elvis showing up in a plate of mashed potatoes, but it was still pretty cool. Seeing things like that makes it easy to understand how the ancient sailors could believe in gods and mermaids and sea monsters.

That was AWESOME!! It looked just like a face! That face was as plane as the face on my face. ;D I think it is a ghost. It's probably the spirits of all the dead people in the ship trying to get out. They never did give them a proper buriel.

They say that spirits are restless until given a proper buriel. Somebody needs to bury all those poor sailors that died there not just make a tourist attraction out of them. Why didn't they ever bury them?

I don't know why they didn't bury them. I guess with the war going on and all they just didn't feel like going in and getting them out. Look at the video at about the 34 second mark where they show the photo. There is another face in the upper left corner right about where the first face's eyebrow wouuld be. It is smuch smaller, flesh-colored and looks kind of like George Washington.

Is the second smaller face near where the right eyebrow would be? I see one over there too. I bet Heidi would be able to find a hundred of them. That is an exellent photo. That lady could make money off of it if she made posters and sold them. I would buy one.

I saw one of the little faces but not the other one. I see the fingers too. And in the bottom right corner is a little hooded grim reaper ghost. That picture is filled with ghosts! I like it it.

I'm not so sure of this photo myself..It could be any thing in the water making it appear his way..
I don't like being reminded of Pearl.. Besides it being a tragic day... All the comes into my photo memory is the surviving sailors had to listen to the men pounding on the hull of the ship from the inside. It was turned upside down in the water and the hull was showing.. The pounding went on for days maybe even a week.. My husband who was on a ship. Said the hull is so thick, they had no way of getting to them.. I would of bombed it open.. something was better than not trying.. I use to have night mares about this. I will probably go to bed now and have one of those dreams..

Lorelei. I seen film somewhere as a child where Sailors were right out there on the dock next to the ship looking down at it. One sailor wrote, he could not sleep as he could hear them pounding from his barracks. It gave off a terrible echo sound like coming from the depths of H.. ll . this is why I dream about it as a child..

From death to life..... The capsized battleship with the men trapped inside was the USS Oklahoma near the Arizona Lois. Here are the salvage operations, many of the battleships were re-floated, rebuilt and served in WWII. Utah, Arizona, Oklahoma were cleared from the harbor, total losses. Arizona's topsides were removed. The harbor still has oil from the old Arizona leaking in the harbor today. The huge salvage operation took years, each ship presenting enormous challenges, feats of engineering and imagination and innovation, it is still the largest salvage operation ever in history. www.history.navy.mil/photos/events/wwii-pac/pearlhbr/ph-okm.htmwww.history.navy.mil/photos/events/wwii-pac/pearlhbr/ph-ok9.htmwww.history.navy.mil/photos/events/wwii-pac/pearlhbr/ph-ok9d.htmwww.history.navy.mil/photos/events/wwii-pac/pearlhbr/ph-az9.htmwww.history.navy.mil/photos/events/wwii-pac/pearlhbr/ph-wv9.htmAfter righting, concrete cofferdam patches placed, Oklahoma was re-floated and placed in dry-dock. The concrete patches now removed (the rubble on the bottom of the dry dock), you can see the extensive damage from Japanese aerial torpedoes, no wonder she capsized so quickly. Oklahoma was never repaired, and was lost at sea being towed to the wreckers on the west coast after the end of the war. Plenty of ghosts here. West Virginia now in dry dock too, the concrete patches removed shows her port side totally bashed in. Her elaborate protection, compartmentation, and armour simply overwhelmed. More ghosts. West Virginia along with Nevada, California, Tennessee, Maryland would be recommissioned. Maryland the least damaged, her sister the West Virginia the worst damaged to be brought back to life and recommissioned. Salvaged and given temporary repairs at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard, in April 1943 West Virginia steamed to the West Coast for final repair and modernization at the Puget Sound Navy Yard. West Virginia, like her near sisters California & Tennessee emerged from the shipyard in July 1944 completely changed in appearance, with a wider hull, and massively improved anti-aircraft gun battery. West Virginia arrived in the Pacific combat zone in October 44, participating in pre-invasion bombardment of Leyte, in the Philippines. As if by fate.....on 25 October, a force of Japanese battleships and smaller vessels attempted to make a night attack on the landing area. West Virgina and the many other old battleships resurrected from the muck and humiliation of Pearl Harbor would finally get their revenge. Stopping the Japanese cold in the huge night engagement in the Battle of Surigao Strait, the last time in World history when battleships engaged battleships with their big guns. After arriving in Puget Sound in April 1943 for complete reconstruction.... Amazingly...14 months later we see the result....virtually a new ship with a 'modern' appearance.
