Talk:Dutch Harbor

Misleading claim
"apart from Pearl Harbor, was the only North American location bombed by Japanese Zeroes during the war." Reading this you would think that Oregon didn't get bombed by the Japanese. A bomb is a bomb, does it matter if it came from a Japanese Zero, or a Japanese Glen airplane? Wikipedia even has an article on it: I-25. Zero's where fighter planes, so they would not have bombed Dutch Harbor, you can check the [Aleutian Islands Campaign] article for the details. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.113.104.180 (talk) 17:23, 26 April 2013 (UTC) It certainly is not the only North American location bombed by the Japanese. Excepting Pearl Harbor makes the claim even weaker. From a historical perspective, Dutch Harbor, like Pearl Harbor, wasn't even officially in a state of the United States until 100 years after Oregon became a State. 67.0.144.3 (talk) 08:31, 7 November 2012 (UTC)Buffaloe

Origin of the name?
The article does not state how or why it came to be called Dutch Harbor. Does anyone know? --Teabeard (talk) 19:52, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

According to http://www.ci.unalaska.ak.us/community/page/story-name-unalaska-or-dutch-harbor, which looks to be the city's official website, a Dutch vessel was the first to anchor at that specific spot. 2602:306:CEAE:E60:64:5F4E:D041:6A9B (talk) 10:30, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
