The community facility where the public can access the harbor and learn to kayak and row, as well as use the event spaces on the second floor, officially opened Monday.

The $43 million project was federal mitigation for the destruction of Yale University's George Adee Memorial Boathouse, which was razed in 2007 to open a space for one of the new piers needed for construction of the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge. Read More
