Years later, the same fisherman was brought before King Kamehameha.

King Kamehameha IV died November 30, 1863, 15 months after his son.

It was 130 years ago that King Kamehameha IV donated the land for the church.

King Kamehameha instead blamed himself for attacking innocent people, gave the fisherman gifts of land and set them free.

There before me stood indeed a warrior strangely garbed, but it was not King Kamehameha.

Tell me, my friend, have you discovered King Kamehameha's final resting place?

King Kamehameha I resided at Helumoa periodically from 1795 to 1809.

King Kamehameha the Great slept here, or on the grounds, anyway - it was his capital.

King Kamehameha tightly controlled contact with foreigners and centralized the sandalwood trade under his personal oversight in 1805.

The quiet was going to be interrupted with a year of great change in 1819 when King Kamehameha I died.
