First Hawaiian to circumnavigate the globe
The first Hawaiian to circumnavigate the globe was a man named Opie: "Hawaiians traveled on American ships since Captain Robert Gray took Attoo and Opie on board Columbia Rediviva in September 1789 and sailed to Boston arriving 9 August 1790 where Gray walked arm in arm with Attoo dressed in the feathered cloak to meet Governor John Hancock celebrating the first American circumnavigation of the world. Opie was the first Hawaiian to circumnavigate the world returning to Hawaii with Captain Ingraham on Hope sailing from Boston before Gray. Captain Gray sailed a few weeks later for trading in the Pacific Northwest before returning to Hawaii. Gray’s discoveries of Gray’s Harbor and the Columbia River were witnessed by Attoo before the Hawaiian completed his circumnavigation on Columbia Rediviva in 1792."--KAVEBEAR (talk) 06:45, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
