Honolulu Harbor

Here are two similar views of Honolulu Harbor taken yesterday, February 28, 2009. Both views look westward from Bishop Street. One of these includes the Hawaii Superferry manuevering to dock.

The harbor was originally called “Ke Awa O Kou” by the Hawaiians (The Harbor of Kou). The harbor was named “Fair Haven” by westerners 1796, “Honolulu” in Hawaiian. A good history of the harbor can be found here.
