Breadbasket, USS Arizona, Old State Capitol Museum, Phoenix, Arizona, 2010

The silver service created for the US battleship “Arizona” was not on board the ship when it was sent to the bottom of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 by Japanese torpedoes. Fortunately, it was out for maintenance on that terrible day, and was thereby preserved for history. Much of it is now on display in the Old Arizona State Capitol museum. I zoomed for detail on a silver breadbasket, and found the ghost of the Arizona itself etched on the surface. The waves catch the light and seem to shimmer into life, as the old battleship churns across its surface.
