USS Utah Memorial

On December 7, 1941, the USS Utah, moored on the other side of Ford Island and hit by torpedoes at the start of the attack, quickly rolled over and sank. Fifty-eight of Utah's crew died. The ship was never salvaged and remains where it sank in Pearl Harbor.

The USS Utah is only accessible to the general public through guided bus tours to Ford Island. For more information visit: https://www.nps.gov/perl/ford-island-bus-tour.htm.

The National Park Service at Pearl Harbor National Monument, Pacific Historic Parks and CyArk collaborated to develop a Tapestry experience of the USS Utah in order to provide greater access to the site and its stories. Newly acquired 3D data of the memorial and the above water portions of the wreck were combined with previous documentation of the submerged sections of the wreck collected by the National Park Service Submerged Resources Center. This data was used as the backdrop to share the story of the USS Utah through visualizations, historic images and sound clips as well as interviews with National Park Service interpreter, Naval Historian and oral histories of survivors. The resulting experience allows visitors a entirely new perspective on the memorial and its history. Visit here: https://tapestry.cyark.org/content/uss-utah.
