Honuʻapo
Bay, landing, pond, Honuʻapo, Hawaiʻi. Former interisland steamer landing on Honuʻapo Bay. Ruins of the wharf are on the shore. Sugar planters deepened the bay in the 1870s and completed the wharf in 1883, but the wharf fell into disuse in the 1940s as trucks began to replace ships to transport raw sugar. The tsunami of April 1, 1946, severely damaged the wharf and it was never used again. Honuʻapo Pond at the edge of the park is one of the many spring-fed ponds that were once found between Honuʻapo and Punaluʻu. Whittington Park is on the shore.
- Literally, caught turtle.
