The Hokule‘a, the 60-foot double-hulled Polynesian canoe which recently returned from a successful voyage
to and from Tahiti, will soon become a floating classroom, says Herb Kane, Polynesian Voyaging Society
vice president and designer of the craft. “We don’t want to embalm the Hokule‘a on a pedestal outside
a museum,” Kane told the Honolulu Rotary Club at a luncheon in the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. “We don’t
want to sell it.”
