Here Are Some Points Of Interest That You Will See On Your Tour:
Lone Sailor
The statue known as “the Lone Sailor” is a tribute to all personnel in the sea services past, present, and future. This statue was sculpted by Stanley Bleifeld using a real sailor, PO1 Dan Maloney as the model. The initials and last name on the sea bag belong to Rear Admiral William Thompson, the first president of the Navy Memorial Foundation. The foundation raised funds for the creation of the Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C. The bronze used for the original sculpture is said to have had several historical artifacts added to it during the smelting process.
Kaiten
A long black torpedo-like device is located in Bowfin Park outside of the Submarine Museum. This device is called a Kaiten. The Kaiten is a one-man suicide torpedo. Late in the war, the Imperial Japanese Navy knew they were losing and that the United States was inching ever closer to Japan. Like the well-known Kamikaze pilots, The operators of the Kaiten go on a one-way mission, in effect becoming a guided torpedo. They were meant to be launched from the backs of ships or the decks of submarines. Approximately 420 Kaiten were built, with three ships confirmed to be sunk.
Iolani Palace
Iolani Palace was constructed in 1882 under the order of King David Kalakaua. By 1887, Iolani Palace had been furnished with electricity and a phone line. The palace served as the official residence of the Kings and Queens of the Kingdom of Hawaii until the last monarch, Queen Liliuokalani, was overthrown in 1891. The building then served as the capital building of Hawaii until 1969. Iolani Palace has since been restored and is accessible to the public with reservations.
Surfing
The sport we know as surfing has its origins in ancient Hawaii. For the ancient Hawaiians, this was more than just a sport and had spiritual connections. The most skilled surfers tended to be the chiefs. Europeans were first introduced to surfing when Captain Cook arrived in the Islands. Today surfing is a sport beloved by people the world over. While there are many popular surfing spots worldwide, the most famous are in Hawaii. The North Shore of Oahu is a mecca for surfers everywhere who come for the chance to ride the waves at places like Sunset Beach or the famous “Banzai Pipeline.” Several surfing competitions are held on Oahu’s North Shore annually.
