Hofgard Park, Waimea, West Kauai
Captain James Cook, a British sailor, changed the course of history for Hawaii when he sailed into the Waimea Harbor in Janauary 1778, with his ships Resolution and Discovery. He reportedly was the first westerner to ever set foot on the islands. Captain Cook explored several of the Hawaiian Islands until he was killed in 1779 on the Big Island of Hawaii in a petty dispute over a rowboat. This monument of Captain Cook is actually a replica of the one that stands in his home town of Whitby, England.

Useful Information:
Located in historical downtown Waimea
