Description:
Photograph taken along the winding road leading to the Nuuanu Pali (Pali Point), Oahu, Hawaii, showing two automobiles rounding a curve beneath a steep, densely forested cliff face. In the foreground, a dark four-door sedan — styled like a late-1930s Ford Deluxe, with its characteristic rounded grille and sweeping fender line. Cut into the rock face at right is a small stone or masonry structure with a vented opening, likely a drainage culvert or utility portal built into the hillside. Mid 1940.
Additional Notes
This photograph is from the personal collection of photographs taken by CPL William Stinson Brown while stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii before the infamous attack of 7 December 1941. CPL Brown was there during the attack. These unique photographs were donated to the COGG Honor Archive for public use of students, writers and researchers of history. The generous donation was from CPL William S. Brown’s son, William Stinson “Bill” Brown Jr., and his granddaughter, Caitlin Brown Clancy.
