Trivia

  • Honolulu's birthday is the date where about 900 Japanese immigrants arrived in Hawaii in 1885. The Japanese is the second largest ethnic group in Hawaii. It is also the date of the Declaration of Honolulu in 1966 by United States President Lyndon Johnson.
  • The white whale where Honolulu's people used to live inside is a reference to Moby Dick (1851), written by American writer Herman Melville. The book is the sailor Ishmael's narrative of the obsessive quest of Ahab, captain of the whaling ship Pequod, for revenge against Moby Dick, the giant white sperm whale.
  • "Hana hou!" in Hawaiian means "Encore!" in English, often said to request a repeat of the song. As there is significant population of Japanese living in Hawaii, "Hana hou(砲)!" can also serve as a pun for "One more cannon!".
  • Honolulu's liking of coffee is a reference to Starbucks Corporation and the Koa Coffee Plantation in Honolulu, Hawaii. Starbucks is the name of the first mate in the book Moby Dick. The coffee chain was originally going to be called either Cargo House or Pequod after Captain Ahab's ship in Moby Dick. Honolulu is known for Kona coffee, cultivated on the slopes of Hualalai and Mauna Loa.
  • The gun cannon used by Honolulu is a reference to the Lahaina Cannons raised from the wreck of a Russian warship in Honolulu Harbour in 1816. The cannons were brought to Lahaina to guard the Royal Capital. The Battle of Kepaniwai (1790) is also the first time the cannon is used in Hawaii.
  • Honolulu first debuted in February 21, 2021, while the real life Skyline project was under construction (formerly known as the Honolulu Rail Transit). The Skyline train network is completed and is running by June 30, 2023.

Oahu Railway & Land Company.

The Oahu Railway and Land Company, or OR&L, was a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge common carrier railway that served much of the Hawaiian island of Oahu, and was the largest narrow gauge class one common carrier in the U.S, until its dissolution in 1947. The Island of Oahu's railroad history dates back to 1889 when the Oahu Railway & Land Company opened its 12-mile line between Honolulu and Aiea. Over the next roughly 20 years the railroad continued to expand and grow, mostly serving sugar plantations, local industry and hauling passengers.

In the railroad's final form it stretched all of the past Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach to Kahuku, where it served a sugar mill there, including an 11-mile branch to Wahiawa to serve local pineapple fields. After World War II the railroad's infrastructure was almost entirely worn out after heavy use during the war to transport material and troops. As traffic began receding following the war, when a 55-foot tsunami struck the north shore of Oahu on April 1, 1946 the railroad was all but forced to shutdown with the heavy damages inflicted on the property (as well as its customers).

Honolulu Rail Transit.

Skyline is a light metro system in the City and County of Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. Phase 1 of the project opened June 30, 2023 and lies entirely outside of Urban Honolulu, linking East Kapolei (on the ʻEwa Plain) and Aloha Stadium. Phase 2, connecting to Pearl Harbor and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport before reaching Middle Street, is anticipated to open in mid-2025. The final phase, continuing the line across Urban Honolulu to Downtown, is due to open in 2031. Its construction constitutes the largest public works project in Hawaiʻi's history. The 18.9-mile (30.4 km), automated fixed-guideway line was planned, designed, and constructed by the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART), a semi-autonomous government agency. Hitachi Rail, who also built the railcars used on the line, operates Skyline for the Honolulu Department of Transportation Services (which also manages the region's TheBus service). The almost entirely elevated line is the first large-scale, publicly run metro in the United States to feature platform screen doors and driverless trains.

Plans for a mass transit line to connect Honolulu's urban center with outlying areas began in the 1960s, but funding was not approved until 2005. Debate over the development of a rail system in Honolulu has been a major point of contention in local politics, especially leading into the 2008, 2012, and 2016 mayoral elections. Controversy over the rail line was the dominant issue for local politics in the late 2000s, and culminated in a city charter amendment which left the final decision to a direct vote of the citizens of Oʻahu. Construction of the rail line was approved by 53% of voters, and ground broke on project construction on February 22, 2011. Wikipedia
