as floating islands. There were British ships HMS Resolution and HMS Discovery, which were commanded by Capt. James Cook.
Hawaii Islands became an American territory in 1900, when Pres. William McKinley appointed territory's governor and judges.

*Owing to tropical climate in the middle of Pacific Ocean, during
the day humidity is built up, resulting in frequent showers in the morning.

Morning in Hawaiian Island
Night in Hawaiian
islands gets deep
As heavy clouds build up
From humidity generated by hot tropical sun during day time.
The morning
in Hawaiian islands comes along with a fresh shower
Refreshing air in tropical paradise bringing colorful rainbows
That
decorate blue sky.
The sun arises from the horizon of Pacific Ocean
Radiating splendid colors on far horizon.
All
living creatures, trees, plants become vibrant
As the dawn approaches glorious morning
In the paradise of tropical
islands in the South Pacific.
The ocean also wakes up
Making gracious waves from far distance
Slowly approaching
to the beach,
Where they splash shattering into zillions of droplets,
Generating sounds of rumbling, whistling, horning,
. . .
In harmony with sounds of wind from the ocean.
