U.S. Naval Base, Pearl Harbor, Dry Dock No. 1, Pumpwell, By-Pass Valve & Saltwater Pumphouse, North end of Fifth Street, between Dry Dock No. 1 & Facility GD2 , Pearl City, Honolulu County, HI
Summary
Significance: They are located within the Pearl Harbor National Historic Landmark. Facility S17 was constructed in 1919 as the pumpwell for Dry Dock No. 1. Completed in 1942, the adjacent facility S17A is associated with the major expansion of dry dock facilities during WWII when Dry Dock Nos. 2 & 3 were assembled. The two facilities are of a distinctive type and period of construction with the construction history of Facility S17A and the bombproof addition to the roof of Facility S17 tied in response to the December 7th attack. Facility S786, originally named the Saltwater Pumphouse , was completed after WWII in 1950. The entire dry dock system is a fundamental engineering component of the Naval shipyard and its main function of ship repair.
