Hawaii Maritime Museum

This location is deemed a national U.S. Historic Landmark. The magnificent four-masted Falls of Clyde sailing ship is anchored alongside a wharf, and although it has been prohibited to visitors for safety reasons, the museum is definitely worth a trip. The permanent display will take you from the days of the early canoe-faring Polynesians to Captain Cook's "discovery" of the island chain, all the way up to the naval activities at present-day Pearl Harbor. You can peruse a sizable World War Two naval exhibit. Whaling exhibits are also featured, including a massive humpback whale skeleton. The museum is located next to the Aloha Tower Marketplace. Admission is $7.50 for adults, $4.50 for children ages 4-12, and free for children under 4.
