Lanai Island

NAME: Kaumalapau Harbor
Kaumalapau Harbor on the west coast of Lanai was very busy when Lanai Island was a huge pineapple plantation. The harbor was built in 1926 by the Hawaiian Pineapple Company which later became Dole Pineapple. The harbor is now used mainly by barges delivering supplies to the island and most of Lanai's fishing boats are docked here. In June of 2005 the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee approved $13 million to repair the breakwater off of Kaumalapau Harbor and improve the safety of that harbor.
