#12 has a clock face superimposed in the right-hand corner. Pro job.
The Brownie camera I’m referring to was relatively small with the view finder on top and dark brown in color ... the camera shown, although evidently called a Brownie was also referred to as a box camera.
I used to work for Kodak. The company newsletter would sometimes have stories of people sending in decades old undeveloped film. Kodak took pride in developing those films and the quality of the pictures was at times amazing for film 'stored' in some dresser drawer or attic trunk.
Yes, who did that had above average skills.
It’s a great collection of photos (and hijacked to my hard drive!).
BUT...at least for the drydock photo, it appears to be the same as
one already listed with the navy.
Now, if that’s not to say that the dry dock photo (and others)
didn’t originate from film in a Brownie found sometime after the
great day’s events.
Here’s URLs for the Navy photo and main index for the Navy’s online
photo collection:

Check the link in post #7 before you LOL.
WHere’s the irrefutable evidence of Pearl Harbor being BUSH’S FAULT?
His father was a WWII Naval Aviator. Tom Cruise played a Naval Aviator. Connect the dots.
My thoughts exactly. Seen these before.
Picutre 15 appears to have a bit of color in the smoke plume plus some faded color on the right side border. Is this a B&W pix that was “colorized” and which has faded?
Those are remarkable pictures and a historical treasure.
And picture #3 has a bit of color in the clouds. I think that's just the odd effect that light can have on film.
It may appear that all colors have been lost except red, but there may be some small amount of the other colors left. You might be quite impressed with restoration technology. Many old commercial movies have been restored using knowledge of the deterioration mechanisms to restore the original detail.
There are scanners made specifically to scan photographic slides. Once scanned, the color balance can probably be adjusted for each individual slide.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
I’m sure there were several photographers on the scene and many snapped similar photos in many locations.
