Outrigger Canoe at Sunset on the Big Island of Haw Jigsaw Puzzle

"Outrigger Canoe at Sunset on the Big Island of Hawaii" by Catherine Sherman. A crew paddles an outrigger canoe at sunset off the rocky shore of Kailua-Kona on the island of Hawaii, which is also known as the state's Big Island. Kona is the name of a moku or district on the northwestern side of the Big Island of Hawaiʻi in the State of Hawaii. In the Hawaiian language, kona means leeward or dry side of the island, as opposed to ko olau which means windward or the wet side of the island. In the times of Ancient Hawaiʻi, Kona was the name of the leeward district on each major island. The Big Island is the largest and the southeastern-most of the Hawaiian islands, a chain of volcanic islands in the North Pacific Ocean. With an area of 4,028 square miles (10,430 km2), it is larger than all of the other islands in the archipelago combined and is the largest island in the United States. The island is often referred to as the "Big Island" to reduce confusion between the island and the state. As of the 2020 census, the population was 200,629. The county seat and largest city is Hilo.
