Hawaii Maritime Center, Maritime museum at Pier 7 in Honolulu Harbor, US.

The Hawaii Maritime Center occupied two levels containing exhibits about surfing, canoe racing, whaling, and navigation throughout the Pacific Ocean.

The center operated from 1988 to 2009 under Bishop Museum management, displaying maritime artifacts and photographs documenting Hawaii's connection with the sea.

The museum featured a replica of King David Kalakaua's canoe house and contained exhibits about ancient Polynesian navigation techniques and traditional seafaring methods.

The facility provided audio guides for thirty different exhibits, allowing visitors to learn about maritime history from ancient Polynesian periods to modern times.

The museum displayed Lei'iwi, a complete Pacific humpback whale skeleton with 159 bones, including a twelve-foot skull weighing 750 pounds.
