The Journey

1

USS Arizona Memorial

Stand in solemn remembrance at the USS Arizona Memorial, a poignant tribute to the lives lost during the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941. Accessible only by boat, this floating memorial straddles the sunken remains of the USS Arizona, offering a unique and profoundly moving experience. Reflect on the events that propelled the United States into World War II and pay your respects to the 1,177 sailors and marines who perished aboard the battleship. The oil still seeping from the wreckage, often referred to as 'black tears,' serves as a perpetual reminder of the sacrifice made on that fateful day.

2

Iolani Palace

Pass by Iolani Palace, the only official residence of royalty in the United States, commissioned by King David Kalakaua in 1879. This architectural marvel served as the seat of the Hawaiian Kingdom until the monarchy's overthrow in 1893. Later, it functioned as the capitol building for Hawaii's various governments until 1969. Today, meticulously restored to its former glory, Iolani Palace stands as a museum, offering a glimpse into the opulent lives of Hawaiian royalty and the tumultuous history of the islands. While passing by, take in the exterior beauty and imagine the grand events that once unfolded within its walls.

3

Hawaii State Capitol Building

Pass by the Hawaii State Capitol Building, a distinctive architectural landmark that symbolizes the unique identity of the Aloha State. Designed in a Bauhaus-inspired style, the capitol incorporates numerous symbolic elements, such as pillars resembling royal palm trunks representing the Hawaiian Islands and a surrounding reflection pool evoking the Pacific Ocean. Gaze upon the statue of Saint Damien, a revered figure in Hawaiian history, and appreciate the building's harmonious blend of modern design and traditional Hawaiian motifs. While passing by, admire this seat of Hawaiian governance.

4

Statue of King Kamehameha

Admire the majestic golden statue of King Kamehameha the Great, standing proudly in front of Aliiolani Hale, home to the Hawaii State Supreme Court. Kamehameha, a visionary leader, united the Hawaiian Islands under his rule, establishing the Kingdom of Hawaii. This iconic statue serves as a powerful reminder of his legacy and the rich history of the Hawaiian monarchy. Feel the mana (spiritual power) emanating from this symbol of Hawaiian pride and independence.

5

Washington Place

Pass by Washington Place, a historic residence that once served as the home of Queen Liliuokalani, Hawaii's last monarch. Built in 1847 in the Greek Revival style, the house was originally owned by the Dominis family. After the overthrow of the monarchy, Queen Liliuokalani lived here until her death. Later, it became the official residence of Hawaii's governors. While passing by, imagine the queen within its walls, and consider the historical weight of this landmark and its connection to a pivotal moment in Hawaiian history.

6

Kawaiahao Church

Pass by Kawaiahao Church, the oldest church in Honolulu, also known as the 'Westminster Abbey of Hawaii.' Historically, this served as the church for the Hawaiian Royal Family. Founded by the first Christian missionaries to Hawaii in 1821, the church played a significant role in shaping Hawaiian culture. Marvel at its architecture and rich history, knowing that services are still held in the Hawaiian language, preserving a vital part of the islands' heritage. While passing by, consider the influence of religion in Hawaii's story.
