Capt. James Cook stood on his ship gazing at the coastline of Kauai and the Hawaiian village of Waimea in 1778. Kauai was its own kingdom then; and King Kaumualii--the king of Kauai who challenged Kamehameha and managed to keep Kauai from being conquered by him--would not be born for two more years. The oldest and northernmost of the main Hawaiian Islands; Kauai did not see well-meaning missionaries until 1820. From the moment Cook put Kauai on the map; it has gathered admirers from all over the world who come to experience its exquisite beauty and wonder. Fortunately; many photographers have had their own love affairs with Kauai; leaving a vast amount of documentation.
