Pier 7, Honolulu Harbor
The Hawaii Maritime Center features Hawaii's ocean legacy. The museum chronicles the ancient Hawaiians, who navigated the Pacific some1500 years before Europeans, the whaling era, the ocean liner golden age, and today's ocean sports.
Some of the most interesting exhibits include the skeletal remains of a humpback whale found in a cove off of Hawaii and a 1,805 pound Pacific Blue Marlin caught off the coast of Makaha. There is also a replica of a Polynesian sailing canoe used by the first Hawaiians and a four-mast, full-rigged ship (The Falls of Clyde).
