    This is a historically significant black and white original by Bill Romerhaus of the
    Hokule’a (‘Star of Gladness’ translation) ancient Hawaiian sailing canoe replica as it enters
    Haleiwa Harbor during a historic trip to Haleiwa in 1997. The Polynesian Voyaging Society
    canoe was made with the same materials as the original canoes that were used to travel
    long distances in the Pacific Ocean. Pius “Mau” Pialug of Satawai Micronesia taught the
    ancient navigation techniques used by native sailors that involved reading ocean swells and
    direction, winds, and the stars to navigate the voyages. The first voyages showed that the old
    methods were not myths. Several other canoes were constructed since. Hawaii's Nainoa
    Thompson played an important role in the revival and a mentor for the voyaging society.
    The Hōkūle‘a is a full-scale replica of a wa‘a kaulua, a Polynesian double-hulled
    voyaging canoe. Launched in 1975 by the Polynesian Voyaging Society, is best known for
    her historic 1976 Hawai‘i to Tahiti, and then a three year 45,000 mile voyage around the
    world performed without modern navigational instruments. The primary goal of the voyage
    was to further support the anthropological theory of the Asiatic origin of native oceanic
    people, and also was to revive and perpetuate the culture, and ancient navigation methods.
    This is an original photo from long time Hawaii professional photographer Bill Romerhaus, of North Shore Photography who has been shooting and selling photos of historic surfing, Hawaiiana, stock, and scenics since 1967 to professional galleries, publishing, media, and corporate clients worldwide. His most recent work has appeared as background art in the NETFLIX "Finding Ohana", HBO Pilot "Rocky Point" CBS/Eye productions "Magnum P.I." & "Hawaii 50", Sony Pictures "Soul Surfer", Disney/Dreamworks productions "Fright Night", ABC Television pilot "My Generation", CBS/Paramount Network TV series "The Cleaner" on A&E Networks, Universal Pictures "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", and Warner Brothers  "The Big Bounce", filmed on the North Shore or on Oahu, providing vintage photos of nostalgia, and surfing for background artwork.
    PRINT INFORMATION: Most of our prints are sharper than many of the lower resolution samples seen here. Please be aware that many of the older original images were not high quality and may be grainy or have some visible flaws. All mounted 8x10" prints are shrink-wrapped and come with a detailed caption label on the back, (or separate with unmounted photos), with several paragraphs of interesting detailed historical and photography information. This is what makes our prints different from other sellers and very popular with buyers.
    Mounted prints are cropped to fit on a single 8x10" mat board and are not double matted cut-outs. Margins and borders are edges of the print, or the color of the mat. We print on long lasting lithographic, giclee professional glossy or mat paper using archival inks, or real photographic paper. Some prints are from black and white or hand colored originals, others have been ©colorized by our artist.
