The original of Kamehameha 2d was executed in England in 1824 in the style of the dress of George 4th's reign.

Today ʻŌpūkahaʻia is best known as one of the first Hawaiians to convert to Christianity and an early translator of the Hawaiian language into English.

18803796<p><b>Scarce Chart of Oahu: Pearl Harbor to Diamond Head</b></p><p>This is a wonderfully detailed chart of the Pearl Harbor/Honolulu area. It names Diamond Head Waikiki Honolulu with street grid shown and Pearl Lochs later Pearl Harbor and locates numerous landmarks: school windmill leper asylum prison and several areas with heavy surf and breakers. </p><p>The chart appears to be directly derived from a larger separately issued chart of the same title that covered a somewhat larger area Hydrographic Office Chart no. 867. The larger chart was first issued in 1880 and updated at least through 1901. While a very short segment of Oahu R.R. is shown just west of Honolulu on the present chart the much longer stretch of the railway that looped around the northern portion of Pearl Lochs is not shown here as it is on the 1899 edition of the larger map. Since the main portion of the Oahu Railway was completed in late 1889 it suggests that the present map was completed prior to that date. We have been unable to determine the exact publication source of the map. In any case the chart as well as its larger relative is very uncommon; neither version is represented on OCLC. <br /></p><p><b>Condition: </b>Original fold lines. Repair of 1 ½" tear at binding edge.
