Today is the 65th anniversary of the Japanese attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In 1942, a New York Times correspondent named Robert Trumbull detailed the salvage efforts at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard. Trumbull's dispatches did not run because of wartime restrictions, but are available today for the very first time. You may need to subscribe to the Times on-line in order to view these free .pdfs, but for those who love the history of technology, the chance to read about America's salvage efforts is priceless. Here's the link to the New York Times special section.
