Honolulu Harbor, also called Kulolia and Ke Awa O Kou, is the principal seaport of Honolulu and the State of HawaiÊ»i It handles over 11 million tons of cargo annually. The services that the harbor provides are crucial as HawaiÊ»i imports over eighty percent of its required goods. On September 11, 1926, the world-famous Aloha Tower was officially dedicated at Pier 9 of Honolulu Harbor. The tallest building in HawaiÊ»i at that time, the Aloha Tower became a guiding beacon welcoming vessels to Honolulu. Just as the Statue of Liberty greeted thousands of immigrants each year to New York City, the Aloha Tower greeted thousands of immigrants to Honolulu. By the time the Aloha Tower was dedicated, Honolulu was already a popular vacation destination for wealthy American and European families. They traveled on Matson steamers that docked at the Aloha Tower and were greeted by Hawaiian music, hula performers and lei.
