This is interesting:

Forwarded from Pro-Imaging:

"I have put up on the link below, some photographs sent to me by a good
friend, of the attack on Pearl Harbour in December 1941. Although many
others have been published before, in my view these are very spectacular
and bring home the true horror of war.

The photographs were taken by a sailor stationed on the USS Quapaw,
using an old Kodak Brownie Box Camera.

What is all the more remarkable is that these images were on a roll of
film that was found only recently, still inside the camera - 68 years
after the event!

I wonder if images on a sensor would last that long!

Out of courtesy to the photographer who is unknown, I will only leave
the images up for the weekend.
