With the Sun seen faintly overhead, native Hawaiians steer an outrigger canoe, possibly on Kaneohe Bay, off the northeast coast of the Island of Oʻahu.

The following lines in calligraphic script by A.R. Gurrey Jr. are included as a photo-transfer to the leaf:

In measured tones subdued and low
Old ocean chants her ebb and flow.

These lines are from the poem To Kapiolani by Hawaiian poet Anna Matilda Paris. (1843-1917)

Kapiolani was the Queen Dowager and widow of Kalakaua.

-Queen Kapiʻolani (1834–1899) was married to King Kalākaua and reigned as Queen Consort of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. Her full name was Kapiʻolani Napelakapuokakaʻe. (1.)

–Kāneʻohe Bay, at 45 km², is the largest sheltered body of water in the main Hawaiian Islands. This reef-dominated embaymentconstitutes a significant scenic and recreational feature along the windward (northeast) coast of the Island of Oʻahu. (2.)
