Artist's Comments

Kealakekua Bay late afternoon/early evening.

Capt. James cook's crew sailed into Kealakekua on the British ships HMS Discovery and Resolution on Jan. 17, 1779.

At Kealakekua, some 10,000 Big Islanders were in the midst of their makahiki celebration in honor of the god Lon.

Cook was murdered by the Hawaiians only days after treating him as royalty.

England erected a monument to Cook at the northern end of Kealakekua Bay. It still stands today.

Life is just waiting around for the next disaster. The only consolation is, one of these times it'll be fatal.
