Hawaii
Maritime Center celebrates Hawaii's rich
maritime history through exhibits, displays,
and rare maritime artifacts. As a sister
institution of Bishop Museum, the Hawaii
Maritime Center offers visitors a look back
at Hawaii's extensive maritime history from
its discovery by Polynesian navigators 1500
years ago, to contact with the western
culture, to the effects of whaling. Since
its opening in 1988, the Hawaii Maritime
Center has become a vital community resource
for educational, cultural, and social
programs by preserving and perpetuating
Hawaii's maritime heritage.
The artifacts on display at Hawaii Maritime
Center encompass Hawaii's long and vibrant
maritime history. Visitors will find objects
from the first Polynesian voyagers to reach
Hawai'i, a collection of surfboards, the
world's only surviving four-masted,
full-rigged ship, and one of only two
humpback whale skeleton exhibits in the
world. |
