A Manila Galleon off the Puna Coast of Hawai'i More information about the subject of thisimage. Old Spanish charts and a 1613 Dutch globe suggest that explorers from Spain had sighted Hawai'i long before Captain Cook. When Cook arrived in 1778, galleons laden with silver from the mines of Mexico and South America had been passing south of Hawai'i for two centuries on annual round trip voyages of 17,000 miles between Acapulco and Manila. Page 72, Voyagers Note: In 1820 a missionary recorded a story told by Hawaiians in the area of Honaunau on the Big Island. The story tells of two fair-skinned people, a young man and young woman arriving in a boat with a canape over it, many years before Captain Cook. They landed at Kulou, a location near Kealakekua Bay. The story is corroborated by a similar story told and recorded in Kohala, on the north end of the island. This pair could have been survivors of a storm wreaked galleon that was headed west on the typical route to Manila. The prevailing winds and/or a storm could have carried a small boat north to Hawaii.
