Description
Hilo Bay, Hilo, HI....... According to Wikipedia: The modern town of Hilo, Hawaii overlooks Hilo Bay, located at 19�44′10″N 155�4′37″WCoordinates: 19�44′10″N 155�4′37″W. North of the bay runs the Hamakua Coast on the slopes of Mauna Kea, and south of the bay is the Puna district on the slopes of Mauna Loa. The area just inland from the bay is the Hilo district, divided into north and south Hilo within the County of Hawaii. Banyan Drive runs through Liliʻuokalani Gardens near downtown Hilo at the edge of the bay.........History The ancient Hawaiian name for the village on the bay was Waiākea. After being surveyed in 1825 by Charles Robert Malden of the HMS Blonde, it was called Byron's Bay for captain George Byron, 7th Baron Byron. The coral reef on the eastern side of the bay is called Blonde Reef for the ship. The first breakwater across the bay was first started in 1908 under contract to Engineer Delbert Metzger. It was extended in 1911, and completed in 1929. The small island Moku Ola (now called Coconut Island) was the site of an ancient temple dedicated to healing.
