In the times before highways and motor vehicles, harbors and landing places were the important links between different districts, other islands and foreign lands.  They were the means of getting people and things that came by sea safely ashore as well as sending off the people and products of the land by sea to other places.

Kapena Kiko Johnston-Kitazawa will take you on a journey by story and pictures along the coast of Ka’ū.  He will discuss the geological, wind and sea, and social/historical factors that make landings come and go and share some events  that occurred at these unique places.
