Plaque at Kealakekua Bay replaced in 2018

 

The plaque marking the location where Captain Cook was killed at Kealakekua, on the Big Island of Hawai‛i has finally been replaced. It was noted to be missing in a short article in the October, 2016 issue of Cook’s Log, with two more follow-up articles in 2017. Karen Hofstad, of Petersburg, Alaska, has been actively pursuing the matter, visited the site by kayak, and met with a Hawaii State Parks archaeologist. The plaque had been removed for cleaning and restoration, and was replaced at the original site during July 12-13, 2018. Here are links to two sites that briefly describe the result.
