Excellent tiki historical anecdote! King Kamehameha was on the beach and suffered a gunshot wound when Cpt. Cook was kiled. King Kamehameha learned the vaule of naval artillery, mounting swivel guns on the canoes of his troops, which was instrumental in his success. When Kamehameha the Great died, his bones were secretly buried on the Kona coast so no one would be able to use their strong mana. |
