	Welcome to Historic Hawaii Foundation
		Ford Island - the centerpiece of the Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark District - is adjacent to Battleship Row, now home to the USS Missouri Memorial Association, and a few yards away from the memorial to the USS Arizona, which sustained the heaviest loss of life that day.
		Though the island's first use was for large-scale sugar cultivation, it was acquired by the U.S. government for Army and Navy development and transformed into a major air facility in the late 1930s.
		Given its proximity to Battleship Row, and the fact that the island hosts the original airfield, air tower, World War II hangars, bungalows, officers' housing and more, it is imperative that we preserve the essence of Ford Island.

	The Prisoner of Shark Island. John Ford. \| The Stop Button \| Andrew Wickliffe (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Color didn’t change Ford too much, since the post-WWII calvary trilogy are not the same Ford as this film and at least one of those is fl and white.
		The Shark Island Ford is the one who did exciting things with confined space and people’s place in that space, as opposed to the later Ford, who did things with open space and the place of people in that space.
		I guess Shark Island never had a VHS release in the United States--but Fox Movie Channel shows it a couple times a year (probably not for President’s Day, though it would be interesting--the film presents Lincoln as a humane, soft-spoken, decent person, which modern Americans certainly don’t find appealing in a president).
