Located at Pier 7, on historic Honolulu Harbor, the Hawaii Maritime Center allows visitors to learn more about Hawaii's maritime history. From its discovery by Polynesian navigators more than 1500 years ago, to contact with Western cultures, through to whaling and the present day, fun and educational exhibits and programs allow visitors a look back at the heritage of Hawai'i on the high seas. Also, visit the Falls of Clyde, the world's only surviving four-masted full-rigged ship. Built in 1878, the Falls of Clyde is the first and possibly the only vessel of its type to ever fly the Hawaiian flag, as she served Hawai'i as the largest ship in the sugar trade. Designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1989, the Falls of Clyde is one of the finest and best-preserved museum ships.
