The original statue was lost in a shipwreck near the Falkland Islands in 1880, but was later recovered and eventually placed in Kapaau, Hawaii.
There are four statues of King Kamehameha, with the one in Honolulu being a replica of the original statue in Kapaau, Hawaii.
Every June 11th, the statue is draped in leis during the King Kamehameha Day celebrations, honoring the king's legacy.
The outstretched arm of the statue symbolizes a gesture of aloha, welcoming visitors to Hawaii.
The statue is made of cast brass, a durable material that has withstood the test of time and weather.
