Internment Locations

Arrested: February 1942


Sand Island Internment Camp, Honolulu, Oahu Island


A group of 172 Hawaii men (mostly Issei) were sent aboard the military transport ship USS U.S. Grant for internment in U.S. Army and Department of Justice camps on the Mainland. Together, the men were sent from camp to camp. 

In June 1943, this transfer group was split into two, with this group sent directly from Camp Livingston to the Santa Fe Camp.

From there, some internees were paroled to War Relocation Authority camps, where they were reunited with family members. Others were transferred for repatriation to Japan.
