Pearl Harbor tug Hoga among 11 endangered historic sites
The rusting 100 foot tug Hoga, the last Navy vessel from Pearl Harbor, is named by the National Trust as one of the nation’s 11 most endangered historic places. Moored in San Francisco, it faces scrapping unless funds are raised to restore its condition as after the 1941 attack. The vessel helped beach the burning battleship Nevada, aiding a halt to Japanese efforts to sink the Nevada and bottle up Pearl Harbor.
