First, the National Park Service closed walk-on tours of the USS Arizona Memorial for several months for repairs.
Now, all that changed again as the floating dock for shuttle boats to the memorial sank.
According to U.S. News & World Report:
HONOLULU (AP) — The National Park Service says the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor will be closed for the rest of the week after the floating dock where visitors board vessels to the site became partially submerged.
Boat tours to the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument in Honolulu stopped Sunday after the 180-foot (55-meter) concrete dock dipped below the water overnight.
Park service spokesman Jay Blount says repairs have been estimated to take a week. He says crews were working to pump out the dock's chambers, but the cause of the damage was not yet known.To read more go here.
