Coconut Island (Honolulu County)

Coconut Island, or Moku o Loʻe, is a 28-acre (113,000 m2) island in Kāneʻohe Bay off the island of Oʻahu in the state of Hawaiʻi, United States. It is a marine research facility of the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) of the University of Hawaiʻi. History In 1934–1936, Chris Holmes II, an heir to the Fleischmann yeast fortune, doubled the original 12-acre (49,000 m2) island with coral rubble, sand, and earthen landfill. He established a residence with aquaria, kennels, and aviaries for his many pets. The island was converted to a rest and relaxation station for United States Navy flyers during World War II. In 1946 a group of five Los Angeles businessmen, including Edwin W. Pauley, bought the island from the estate of Chris Holmes II with the idea of converting it to the exclusive Coconut Island Club International, 1946-7, and hired architects Paul Williams, A. Quincy Jones, and C.W. Lemmon of Belt Lemmon and Lo, Architects of Honolulu to design a community of cottages, tennis courts, a yacht club and other recreational facilities including remodeling the Holmes mansion and barracks. The Pauley group wanted to develop the island into a private, membership only resort. In 1949 this idea was dropped and a scaled-back Coconut Island Hotel with accommodation for 32 guests opened in February 1950. In 1948, Pauley donated a portion of the island to the University of Hawaii to be used as a marine research facility. From the 1950s to the 1980s, the Pauley family used the island for summer get-aways and hosted many notable guests. From the mid-80s to mid-90s Japanese real estate investor Katsuhiro Kawaguchi owned the island and permitted the University of Hawaii to use some of its areas for research. In 1995, the Edwin Pauley Foundation granted a gift of $9.6 million to the University of Hawaii Foundation to purchase the private half of the island and build new laboratories on it. The island is now completely owned by the state and is the facility for the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology, part of the University of Hawaiʻi. It is the only U.S. laboratory built on a coral reef. (Heron Island, Lizard Island and a number of labs in the South Pacific are located outside of the U.S.) Coconut Island was used for the opening sequence of the television program Gilligan's Island. Coconut island original name is Moku ‘o Lo’e which means island of Lo’e who was a lady that resided there in ancient times.

Coconut Island (Hawaiʻi County)

Coconut Island, or Mokuola is a small island in Hilo Bay, just offshore from Lili'uokalani Park and Gardens, in Hilo, off the island of Hawaii. It is a small park with a large grassy field, picnic areas, restroom facilities, and a few tiny sandy beaches. A popular recreational activity is to jump off the tower into the waters of Hilo Bay. In November 2025, the pedestrian bridge, which was the only connection between the island and the main island of Hawaii, collapsed as a county worker drove a mini-excavator across the structure, closing the popular Hilo park indefinitely. The name Mokuola translates as "healing island" or "island of life" from the Hawaiian language. Moku meaning "island" and ola meaning "life." It was the site of an ancient temple dedicated to healing. It is located off Banyan Drive. Legend tells that anyone who was sick or feeling ill would be healed by swimming around Mokuola three times. In ancient times, Mokuola was a pu'uhonua (place of refuge), where natives or warriors could "redeem" themselves. Many native Hawaiians would also bury their children's piko (umbilical cords) under the flat rocks here, so the rats would not find them (piko are often considered sacred to Hawaiians, as they are the connection to their mothers and to their blood lines).

CINCPAC Fleet Headquarters

Die CINCPAC Fleet Headquarters, mit vollem Namen Commander in Chief Pacific Fleet Headquarters, im Marinestützpunkt Pearl Harbor auf Hawaii sind ein Gebäude militärhistorischer Bedeutung. Sie waren von Anfang 1942 bis Januar 1945 das Hauptquartier von Chester W. Nimitz, der wenige Tage nach dem Angriff auf Pearl Harbor neuer Oberbefehlshaber der amerikanischen Pazifikflotte wurde. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs waren Nimitz von 1942 bis zur Kapitulation Japans zudem alle alliierten See-, Land- und Luftstreitkräfte des den größten Teil des Pazifik umfassenden Kommandobereichs Pacific Ocean Areas (POA) unterstellt. Im Januar 1945 verlegte Nimitz die CINCPAC Fleet Headquarters nach Guam, um näher am Kriegsgeschehen zu sein. Seit dem 28. Mai 1987 sind die CINCPAC Fleet Headquarters ein National Historic Landmark und im National Register of Historic Places aufgeführt. Das Gebäude ist für Besucherverkehr geöffnet. Einzelnachweise
Commander in Chief Pacific Fleet Headquarters (World War II)

CINCPAC Fleet Headquarters, also known as Commander in Chief Pacific Fleet Headquarters or COMPACFLT Headquarters, is a historic military building on Makalapa Drive in Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam, on the island of Oahu in the US state of Hawaii. Built during World War II in 1942, it served as the headquarters of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz from 1942 through 1945, while he was Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Fleet and Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Ocean Areas, during World War II. Commanding land, sea, and air forces, Admiral Nimitz had major responsibility for campaigns such as the Battle of Midway, the liberation of Guam, and the seizure of Saipan and Tinian in the Marianas. It was designated a National Historic Landmark for this role in 1987. Description and history The CINCPAC Fleet Headquarters building is located in the portion of Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam that is between Interstate H1 to the east and the Kamehameha Highway. It is set on the north side of Makalapa Drive, overlooking the lower reaches of Halawa Stream. It is a reinforced concrete structure, three stories in height and measuring about 60 by 200 feet (18 m × 61 m). Its lower floor functions as a basement, and was bombproof by design when built. The upper floors are ringed by lanais, eliminating the need for indoor corridors. The building was constructed in 1942, as part of a massive wartime construction program at Pearl Harbor. The Makalapa area, where it stands, was developed to house many thousands of naval personnel en route to assignments in the Pacific War. The Navy's plans included three non-residential buildings: this headquarters building, and two nearby that housed intelligence and communications facilities. Admiral Chester Nimitz occupied an office in this building until 1945, when he relocated his headquarters to Guam to more closely manage the later stages of the war. The building now serves again as the headquarters of the US Navy Pacific Fleet.

Playa Lanikai

La Playa Lanikai es una playa ubicada en Kailua, en la costa este de Oahu, Hawái. Esta playa, con solo 800 metros de largo, es considerada una de las mejores playas del mundo.​ Contiguo a esta playa se encuentra un barrio de clase alta, y debido a esto es accesible solo a través de caminos públicos. No hay estacionamientos, baños, duchas ni guardavidas.​ Durante los días de semana la playa es muy solitaria, pero en los fines de semana y durante la temporada turística alta es visitada por multitudes. Lanikai es un lugar muy popular para sesiones fotográficas, por lo que suelen verse modelos renombradas y fotógrafos. Gracias a su ubicación en el este de Oahu, Lanikai se considera como un gran lugar para ver la luna sobre los islotes Nā Mokulua, especialmente durante la luna llena.​ Referencias
Escull Maro

L'escull Maro (en anglès Maro Reef i en hawaià Nalukākala) és un laberint d'esculls coral·lins de les illes de Sotavent de Hawaii. Està situat a 1.370 km al nord-oest de Honolulu. Les seves coordenades són: 25° 25′ N, 170° 35′ O. L'escull és la resta d'un atol submergit que queda a flor d'aigua amb la marea baixa. És l'escull més gran de Hawaii, amb 37 espècies de corall. Va ser descobert, el 1820, pel capità nord-americà Joseph Allen. L'escull va ser anomenat amb el nom del seu vaixell, el Maro de Nantucket, el primer balener que va arribar al port de Honolulu.

Maro Reef

Maro Reef (Hawaiian: Nalukākala - "surf that arrives in combers") is a largely submerged coral atoll located in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. It was discovered in 1820 by Captain Joseph Allen of the ship Maro, after whose ship the reef was named. With a total area of 747 square miles (1,935 km2), it is the largest coral reef in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. It contains 37 species of stony coral. Unlike most atolls, the coral extends out from the center like spokes on a wheel. Located about 850 miles (740 nmi; 1,370 km) northwest of Honolulu, Hawaii, Maro Reef contains about 1 acre (4,000 m2) of dry land which itself can be submerged depending on the tides. Some scientists believe that it "may be on the verge of drowning" because the reefs are detached and are vulnerable to strong storm waves. USNS Mission San Miguel (T-AO-129) ran aground on the reef, while running at full speed and in ballast, and sank on October 8, 1957. The ship was a Buenaventura class tanker built in WW2, and due to problems with LORAN reception (for navigation) miscalculated its location striking Maro reef. It was rediscovered in 2015 by NOAA divers. At 523 feet long it is the largest ship lost on Maro reef and noted for historical significant as WW2 T2 tank vessel. Dowsett Reef Dowsett Reef (also called Dowsett's Rock) is to the south of Maro Reef. The sailing ship McNear, a bark, sunk on Dowsett Reef on May 14, 1900. The ship's 33 occupants survived by sailing in boats to Laysan.

Récif Maro

La récif Maro (en anglais Maro Reef, en hawaïen Nalukākala) est un atoll de corail en grande partie submergée située dans les îles hawaïennes du Nord-Ouest. Il fut découvert en 1820 par le capitaine Joseph Allen du navire Maro, d'où le récif tire son nom. Avec une superficie totale de 1,935 km2, c'est plus grand récif corallien des îles hawaïennes. Il comprend 37 espèces de corail Scleractinia. Contrairement à la plupart des atolls, le corail s'étend du centre vers l'extérieur comme les rayons d'une roue. Situé à environ 1 370 km au nord-ouest d'Honolulu, le récif Maro comprend environ 4 000 m2 de terres émergées mais qui peuvent être recouvertes lors de certaines marées. Certains scientifiques pensent qu'il « est peut-être sur le point de couler » car les récifs sont détachés et sont vulnérables aux vagues de forte tempête Notes et références (en) Cet article est partiellement ou en totalité issu de l’article de Wikipédia en anglais intitulé « Maro Reef » (voir la liste des auteurs).

Maro Rif

Maro Rif, ook wel in het Hawaïaans Nalukākala ("Golven die over het rif breken") of Ko‘anako‘a genoemd, maakt deel uit van het Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument in de keten van Hawaïaanse eilanden in de noordelijke Stille Oceaan, 1370 km ten noordwesten van Honolulu. Het is een voor het grootste deel onderwater liggend koraal atol. Het is ontdekt in 1820 door kapitein Joseph Allen van het schip de Maro (een walvisvaarder). Het rif heeft een oppervlakte van 1935 km2, en is het grootste koraalrif in de noordwestelijke Hawaïaanse eilanden. Er komen 37 soorten steenkoraal voor. Een klein deel (4000 m2) van het rif steekt boven water uit, maar loopt bij hoog water onder. In tegenstelling tot de meeste atollen strekt het koraal zich uit vanuit het centrum als de spaken van een wiel. Sommige wetenschappers denken dat het rif op het punt staat te verdrinken en het zeer kwetsbaar is voor golven tijdens stormen. Important Bird Area Het eiland is samen met de andere Noordwestelijke Hawaiiaanse eilanden aangewezen als Important Bird Area door BirdLife International vanwege het belang voor significante populaties van de Aziatische goudplevier, blauwe noddy, boninstormvogel, bonte stern, Bulwers stormvogel, fijistern, grote fregatvogel, hawaiikarekiet, kleine wigstaartpijlstormvogel, laysanalbatros, laysaneend, laysanvink, maskergent, nihoavink, noddy, opaalstern, roodpootgent, roodstaartkeerkringvogel, steenloper, Tristrams stormvogeltje, wigstaartpijlstormvogel, witkapnoddy, zuidzeewulp, zwartvoetalbatros en andere zee- en watervogels.

Маро (риф)

Маро (англ. Maro Reef) — крупнейший коралловый риф в составе Северо-Западных островов Гавайского архипелага. Расположен примерно в 1360 км от Гонолулу, столицы штата Гавайи, в который и входит риф. Площадь поверхности 1,935 км². Гавайские названия — Налукакала (Nalukakala) или Коанакоа (Koʻanakoʻa). География Собственно говоря, риф представляет собой коралловый атолл, имеющий форму не круга или овала, а необычную сетчатую структуру. Значительная часть поверхности находится под водой. В зависимости от прилива или отлива максимальная площадь суши достигает 0,004 км². Между вышедшими наружу частями подводных рифов находятся бесчисленные лагуны. История Риф был открыт в 1820 году китобойным судном «Маро», в честь которого и назван. Ссылки Информация об острове (англ.). Архивировано из оригинала 12 февраля 2006 года.
Риф Маро

Риф Маро́ (англ. Maro Reef, мовою гавайців — Налукакала «прибій розчісує прибульців») — кораловий атол в Тихому океані, належить до Гавайських островів. Розташований за 850 км на північний захід від Гонолулу, що на острові Оаху. Площа рифу приблизно 1 934 км², що робить його найбільшим кораловим рифом на північно-західних Гавайських островах. На рифі мешкає 37 родів коралів (англ. stony coral). На відміну від більшості атолів, корали виходять із центру, як спиці на колесі. Риф Маро містить приблизно 1 акр (4000 м2) суші, яка сама може бути занурена під воду залежно від припливів. Деякі вчені вважають, що він «може бути на межі потоплення», оскільки рифи відокремлені і вразливі до сильних штормових хвиль.USNS Mission San Miguel (T-AO-129) сів на риф, рухаючись на повній швидкості та в баласті, і затонув 8 жовтня 1957 року.

Diamond Head Theatre

The Diamond Head Theatre is the oldest performing arts center in Hawaii, opened in 1915. Locally known as the "Broadway of the Pacific", it is located on the slopes of Diamond Head in Honolulu, Hawaii. History On April 28, 1915, a new theatrical group called the Footlights was born when Will Lewers, Mrs. Walter F. Dillingham, Helen Alexander, Margaret Center and Gerrit Wilder appeared in The Amazons by Pinero. The performance took place at the Honolulu Opera House, where the main post office on Merchant Street now stands. The legacy of those theatre lovers grew into the third-oldest, continuously operating theatre in the entire United States. In 1934, the Footlights reorganized and took on a new name: Honolulu Community Theatre. In the original mission statement, still honored today, the theatre committed itself to community service through the art of theatre, involving the people of Hawaii as audience members, stage crew and performers. During World War II, Honolulu Community Theatre productions entertained thousands of troops at over 300 performances throughout the Pacific (a tradition they continued with the Pacific tour of Ain't Misbehavin' during the 1990 season). Then, in 1952, Honolulu Community Theatre took up residence in the Fort Ruger Theatre, the Army Post's then movie house. Major refurbishments to make that structure a fully modern venue for stage productions included the addition of scene and costume shops, installation of lighting and sound systems, handicapped-accessible restrooms, a first-ever lobby for patrons and an upstairs addition for expanded office space, spotlights, and sound and lighting boards. In 1990, Honolulu Community Theatre was renamed Diamond Head Theatre. Each season Diamond Head Theatre offers six mainstage theatrical productions, including five major musicals. They provide theatre workshops to train residents of Hawaii in the theatrical arts. Acting, voice and dance classes for children, teens, and adults are offered throughout the year. Diamond Head Theatre's Shooting Stars, a youth performing arts troupe, provides exposure and training to area youth.

Diamond Head Lighthouse

Diamond Head Lighthouse is a United States Coast Guard facility located on Diamond Head in Honolulu, on the island of Oʻahu in the State of Hawaiʻi. The lighthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and was featured on a United States postage stamp in June 2007. History Originally constructed on a 40-foot (12 m) iron tower enclosed with coral rock walls, the lighthouse was first lit on July 1, 1899, with John M. Kaukaliu as the first keeper. The Lighthouse Board took control of the lighthouse in 1904. In 1917, the lantern room was moved to a temporary metal framework while a new 55-foot (17 m) reinforced concrete tower was built on the original foundation. The adjacent residence was built in 1921 and lighthouse operations were automated in 1924. The superintendent of the 19th lighthouse district lived there until 1939, when the coast guard took control and built a radio station there during World War II. In a 2014 interview, 94-year-old veteran Melvin Bell described serving as the radio operator at the Diamond Head station during the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and the steps he took to warn civilian vessels of the attack. Present Since the war, the residence has become the private home for commanders of the coast guard's Oceania district (formerly the 14th district). The lighthouse is featured in the 2021 music video for Katy Perry's song "Electric", which is a collaboration between Perry and Pokémon.
