A small group of volunteers and dry dock crew gathered for a birthday celebration of Hawaiiloa, 31 years from the official launch day of July 24, 1993. Billy and Brad shared stories of how our builder “kahuna kalai waa” and founder of FHH, Wright Bowman, Jr., finished the building of Hawaiiloa then launched at Pier 36 along with many of his dedicated volunteers, “Friends”. There was a building established for both Hokulea & Hawaiiloa which no longer occupies the property by Pier 36. Kauka Mau prepared and shared a copy of the “The Moolelo Series: Hawaiiloa, The Untold Story” which will begin the History of Hawaiiloa that will be posted on our website.
