The Kulamanu - Pier 7 - Honolulu Harbor - Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii

Kulamanu, built in 1946, was originally named Delaware Belle. She was subsequently renamed Hudson Belle and George Washington. As George Washington, the Wilson Line operated her as a river cruise vessel on the Potomac River.

Robert J. Halcro, the owner of Windjammer Cruises, bought the George Washington. The ship’s name was officially changed in March 1980 to Rella Mae (in honor of Mr. Halcro’s mother). Four steel masts and a bowsprit were added to the ship at a shipyard in Norfolk, Virginia before she sailed for Hawai‘i via the Panama Canal and Los Angeles.

Rella Mae arrived in Honolulu Harbor on Sunday, 13 July 1980 and began operations as a dinner cruise ship in August. ACES Dinner Cruises bought Windjammer Cruises in June 1996 and renamed the ship Kulamanu. Due to economic factors, the company shut down operations in May 1998 and put the ship up for sale.

Pacific Cruises owned the ship in the early 2000s. She was put up for auction in July 2006 but did not sale and continued to languish at Pier 7.

In September 2018, there was an unsuccessful attempt to sail the ship to San Francisco, California amid pressure on her owner to remove her from the harbor. Finally, the Kulamanu (IMO 8836429), which was still tied up on the Diamond Head side of Pier 7, was towed out of the harbor on Thursday, 20 June 2019. She was taken to Kalaeloa Barbers Point Harbor, where work began to prepare her for disposal at sea. The ship was finally disposed of offshore on 11 July 2019, just 68 days after the photograph above was taken.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
