THE VOYAGE THE voyage having now actually begun, we must needs turn to the Private Journal, as it is from this source chiefly that our information is derived. We find this inscription on the cover of the volume: "Journal on board 'Cleopatra's Barge ' on a Voyage of Amusement and Travels to the Western Islands and the Mediterranean in the year 1817." Journal on board the Cleopatra s Barge, 1817 "On Sunday, March 30th, at 9 o'clock a.m., we were underweigh, having started from the end of India Wharf, in the presence of a great concourse of spectators, who gave us three hearty cheers, on our departure. At 3 o'clock p.m. Meridian the lights on Thatchers Island bore North distant seven miles. "Before we proceed to notice the occurence of events during this voyage we shall mention the names of the persons on board. George Crowninshield, Esqr., owner. Benjamin Crowninshield, Esqr., captain.

Edward Allen, Jr., passenger to St. Michael's. "As we have mentioned the names of the company on board our yacht, it would seem necessary to accompany them with a characteristic mark of distinction. We feel competent, even now, to give the characteristic features of the minds of the principal personages on board, but we shall defer talking of them at this time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2016 Secretary's Research Award, sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution - awarded for author's contributions to research The first oceangoing yacht ever built in America, Cleopatra’s Barge, endured many incarnations over her eight-year life, from Mediterranean pleasure cruiser to a Hawaiian king’s personal yacht. The famed ship, at times also a Christian missionary transport, pirate ship, getaway vehicle, instrument of diplomacy, and racing yacht, wrecked on a reef in Hanalei Bay on April 6, 1824. Obtaining the first underwater archaeological permits ever issued by the state of Hawai‘i, a team of divers from the Smithsonian Institution located, surveyed, and excavated the wrecked ship from 1995 to 2000. The 1,250 lots of artifacts from the shipwreck represent the only known material culture from the reign of King Kamehameha II (Liholiho), shedding light on the little-documented transitional period from Old Hawai‘i to foreign influence and culture. Although Liholiho ruled Hawai‘i for only a few short years, his abolition of taboos and admission of the Boston Christian missionaries into his kingdom planted the seeds for profound changes in Hawaiian culture. Richly illustrated, Shipwrecked in Paradise tells the story of the ship’s life in Hawai‘i, from her 1820 sale to Liholiho to her discovery and excavation.
