Real-world information[edit]
Sculpted by Thomas Gould in Florence, this 18-foot bronze statue of Kamehameha is one of Hawaiʻi's most photographed landmarks. Every June 11th, on Kamehameha Day, the statues are ceremoniously draped with lei to celebrate Hawaiʻi's first king.
There are several versions of the Kamehameha statue. The original cast (briefly lost at sea, as previously mentioned) stands in Kamehameha's hometown of Kapaʻau on Hawaiʻi Island, as well as another in Hilo. Another statue stands in Honolulu on Oʻahu. The final statue resides in the United States Capitol's National Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C.
A great warrior, diplomat, and leader, King Kamehameha I united the Hawaiian Islands into one royal kingdom in 1810 after years of conflict. Kamehameha's unification of Hawaiʻi was significant not only because it was an incredible feat, but also because under separate rule, the islands may have been torn apart by competing Western interests. Today, the four commissioned statues stand to honor King Kamehameha I, Hawaiʻi's first king.
