    This photo was recently found in an old Brownie Camera on some film that had never been developed. Locked away for 67 years, it finally sees the light of day. Though some of you might like seeing this '32 sedan while Pearl Harbor is being attacked on December 7, 1941.

    Neet picture with the sailors on the work barge. Is that a siren on the front of the sedan or a horn? Thought the horn hung on the light bar.
     

  5. That's no work barge- those are subs docked on either side of the cranes.

    quite a find
    I recently had film developed that had been exposed in 2005; only 5 of the 24 exposures were usable. I guess film is just one more thing that "they don't make like they used to" :(

    Have you heard that Snopes has no creditability? They are just a couple that started Snopes to make a living! Anyway that is what I read on a military site a year or two back.
    They do have a point however about all the other pictures that were suppose to be in that camera, aerial, aboard a ship on a dock so on and so forth.
     
  15. There is a '40 Ford DeLuxe coupe that makes the rounds of some of the shows near here - Moravia, Little York, a few others - that is completely original and was at Pearl Harbor that day according to the signs they display with it. If you see a light colored one in some of the pictures it might be that car (it's light grey).

    Great photo of one of the worlds darkest days.

    Roundvalley, that barge is submersible, some call them submarines.......:rolleyes::D

    Though it all makes sense to me now, they just wanted the 32 Fords, someone knew that in 60 years you could pay off a national debt with two or three original steel cars!
     
  17. Interesting photo. Especially poignant for me as my mother just recently found some old photos of my grandfather from when he was in the Navy. One was him standing on the bow of the SS Arizona, when she turned it over it was dated Dec. 6th, 1941 - Chilling! He shipped out a few hours lateon another ship.

    But, I'm very surprised that the film would have lasted that long undeveloped. In fact a friend of mine that owns a Kodak processing lab says there is no way that the film would have lasted .....
