USS WV Mast and Memorial

Remember Pearl Harbor at this historic landmark.

The USS West Virginia was the third and final member of the Colorado Class dreadnought battleship. The ship was docked at Pearl Harbor on the morning of December 7, 1941, and was sunk during the attacks that served as the catalyst for World War II. The Mast was eventually brought to Memorial Plaza on the West Virginia University Campus in Morgantown, WV, after a fundraising effort by students to prevent it from being sold as scrap.
