Photographs of Kaua'i and O'ahu, Hawai'i

Description

A collection of 56 black and white snapshot photographs of people, activities, and scenery on the islands of Kaua'i and O'ahu, Hawai'i, approximately 1910. The photographs include Native Hawaiians and a thatched dwelling, Chinese and Japanese laborers, and agriculture such as rice fields, sugarcane, and a pineapple plantation. One handwritten caption refers to the visitors camping in the mountains of Kaua'i at "Mr. Gay's" during Halley's Comet. Images of Honolulu include Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, Iolani Palace, and Waikiki. There are also group photographs of travelers onboard the SS Mongolia and SS Wilhelmina.

    Hawai'i correspondence and documents

    Manuscripts

    The collection includes materials related to Charles Dana's time in Hawai'i, including a copy of Page, Bacon & Co.'s petition to establish a bank; correspondence describing scandals within the Hawaiian royal family and efforts to appoint Dana as American Commissioner to Hawaii; and 3 pages of notes from a lecture, evidently written by Dana, describing his attendance at a traditional Hawaiian lūʹau given by Prince Lot Kapuāiwa, later King Kamehameha V. Business correspondence is primarily from Dana's tenure as Vice President of the North American Steamship Company, with letters from New York shipbuilder William Henry Webb and other business contacts. There is also some personal correspondence from Dana's family and friends, including letters from Dana's father and brother discussing Abraham Lincoln's election and the political climate in the United States. Some family cartes-de-visite, checks and bonds, and a broadside advertising one of Dana's lectures are also included.
