In the era before jet travel, everyone arrived by ship, and Boat Day was a civic event: bands on the dock, lei sellers, divers going in after coins thrown from the rails. The tower carried the word ALOHA on all four sides, so that the greeting and the farewell were the same word, which is precisely how Hawaiian works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAir travel ended Boat Day and very nearly ended the tower's purpose. It survived anyway - restored, dwarfed now by the towers behind it, still keeping time over a working harbor. It stands for a version of arriving somewhere that no longer exists: slow, ceremonial, and met by a crowd.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted on a three-inch faceted crystal glass round, white-backed so the architectural line stays crisp and the wreath's green reads true on a lit tree. The faceted edge catches light from any angle. Arrives boxed - white or gold gift box, your choice at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the kamaaina far from home, the returning visitor, anyone who has watched a ship come into that harbor.
