Description:

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 for 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.
