The logbook covers the 16 months before and after the attack that was the catalyst for the U.S. entry into World War II. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its whereabouts can be traced back to the moment it was plucked from a trash bin in the 1970s at the old Norton Air Force Base in San Bernardino, California, by Oretta Kanady, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/history\/2025\/08\/18\/pearl-harbor-navy-attack-book-lost-archives-found\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/history\/2025\/08\/18\/pearl-harbor-navy-attack-book-lost-archives-found\/\">The Washington Post<\/a> first reported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an interview with the Post, Kanady\u2019s son, Michael William Bonds, said she found it in the bin while working as a civilian employee and thought it looked interesting. She asked if she could have it, and it remained in her possession until her death in 2000. Bonds then inherited it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the last few years, I\u2019ve moved here, moved there, it\u2019s just been in a box,\u201d Bond\u2019s told The Post. \u201cI hadn\u2019t really looked at it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book is in good condition, and while it may not alter the basic understanding of the events of Pearl Harbor, where more than 2,400 sailors, Marines, soldiers and civilians were killed after Japanese war planes attacked U.S. military installations near Honolulu, it helps to verify the story of the day that lives in infamy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have nothing, nor does the nation have anything similar to this,\u201d Mitchell Yockelson, an investigative archivist at the National Archives, stated as the book was unveiled at the Archives facility in College Park, Maryland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4904\" height=\"6441\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/552663772-001-0288.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-110190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/552663772-001-0288.jpg.jpg 4904w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/552663772-001-0288.jpg.jpg?resize=228,300 228w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/552663772-001-0288.jpg.jpg?resize=768,1009 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/552663772-001-0288.jpg.jpg?resize=780,1024 780w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/552663772-001-0288.jpg.jpg?resize=1169,1536 1169w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/552663772-001-0288.jpg.jpg?resize=1559,2048 1559w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4904px) 100vw, 4904px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Dec. 8, 1941 entry for the &#8220;Log Book U.S. Navy Yard Pearl Harbor.&#8221; (National Archives)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Logbooks, used by the Navy, were brief daily records of events and observations. In the case of \u201cLog Book, U.S. Navy Yard Pearl Harbor,\u201d it documented several of the ships that were at Navy installation the day of the Dec. 7 attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dec. 5, 1941, records the arrival of the battleships <a href=\"https:\/\/www.historynet.com\/families-urge-pentagon-to-use-dna-testing-for-unidentified-pearl-harbor-remains\/\" rel=\"\">Arizona<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.okhistory.org\/learn\/ussok\" rel=\"\">Oklahoma<\/a>. Both were famously sunk just two days later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Dec. 8, one day after the attack that left the harbor \u2014 and a nation \u2014 reeling, the logbook recorded that at 07:35 that the damaged battleship USS Utah \u201cappears to be drifting out in the channel, recommend tug be sent to secure it alongside quay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other notations from that day include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 21:30: \u201cTower reports fire at ammunition depot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 22:15: \u201cFire at Hickam field secured.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, the pages for Dec. 6 and 7, and into the 8th, have brown stains splattered across their sheets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s another question that we\u2019ve been wondering\u201d about, Yockelson said during the unveiling. \u201cWe like to think that maybe &#8230; somebody was so agitated at what went on that he spilled his thermos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fully <a
