description

Summary

Significance: It consists of an office and dormitory building over finger piers, sheltering the small boats responsible for carrying passengers between Ford Island, other base landings, and the ships moored in the harbor. It is associated with the water-based transportation history of Pearl Harbor. It remains an essential transportation hub for the base, although its importance to Ford Island has diminished since the Admiral Clarey Bridge to mainland Oahu opened in 1999. This boat house is a contributing element to the Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark.
