Ka Hae Hawaii Reports “Manuwa Amerika” (American Warship) Powhatan




This past Saturday I was perusing a Hawaiian-language newspaper entitled Ka Hae Hawaii published in Honolulu. According to one online source, this newspaper was the official voice of the Hawaiian Kingdom’s Department of Public Instruction, I believe under Rev. Richard Armstrong.

This selection come from the Maraki 14, 1860 (March 14, 1860 edition):
