Interesting that while this author cites the HMS Resolution's landfall in Waimea in 1779, the author of the article on Honolulu asserts that "Captain William Brown of the British ship 'Butterworth'" was the first to make landfall in Honolulu in 1794; some 15 years later. While this Italic textmightItalic textbe true, I have my suspicions. I lived in Honolulu for 4+ years and spent a lot of time studying Hawaiian history and never ran across anything which jibed with this particular factoid.
