Description

This panoramic photograph shows Honolulu harbor with five American naval ships and a passenger boat to the far left of the photograph. To the right of the panoramic shot a Hawaiian sailing ship can be seen entering the harbor with a smaller rowing boat in front.

This photo shows the growing American presence in Hawaii’s export market and the increasing presence of the United States navy at Hawaii’s harbors.

Honolulu remained the most popular port for American traders on their way to markets in Asia, delivering sugar and other goods. The photo also marks the increasing use of Panoramic cameras to capture large landscapes and technological changes of the early 20th Century and Americas growing naval presence in the region.
