Return to Hawaii and stop at Maui
- When
- November 1778
- Where
- Maui, Hawaiian Islands
Cook returned to the Hawaiian Islands in late November 1778, stopping first in Maui, during his second visit to the archipelago.
By early September 1778 Cook was back in the Bering Sea on his way to return to Hawaii. He returned to the Hawaiian Islands in late November 1778, stopping first in Maui. The time and manner of his arrival during this second visit in late 1778 later contributed to his status among Hawaiians as an akua. The legacy row's specific date of 26 November 1778 for the Maui landing is not confirmed by the supplied passages, which give only late November.
