C1091 Kealakekua Bay

This is the Bay in which Captain Cook first contacted Hawaiians. This is the place where
he died soon after in a skirmish, which is commonly considered a 'cultural misunderstanding'.
Monument commemorating Captain Cook is around the white spot on the left in this image.

Should you try to hike or to kayak to the monument, this image gives you the impression of the distance.
