A reminder that historical preservation is an ongoing thing. The cause of the difficulties isn't mentioned, but I speculate it's related to the age of the memorial, a bridge-like structure formally dedicated in 1962. That's 56 years in a corrosive environment. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/uss-a ... ar-AAxQg7p https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Arizona_Memorial |

Besides the age of the structure; let's not forget two things. 1) It was built in a salt water harbor which doesn't do concrete any good, and 2) that a suffered a collision a few years back. Even thought the collision was said not to have caused any immediate damage, I wouldnt be surprised if helped hasten the memorial's current condition. Hopefully the damage will be repaired well and respectfully. |
