Although sometimes informally named 'Kanaka', none of the many Hawaiian seamen who sailed or were discharged in Honolulu bore that name, according to the records. Records quoted below are for whaling ships.

Records included pay they received on discharge. E. g.,
Kanaku- discharged from "Bark Ontario II," home port New Bedford, Nov. 2, 1861, received $31.85;
others did not fare as well, "Congress II," Capt. Francis E. Stranburg, New Bedford, 1861, listed seven discharged, all "in debt," and two "Deserted" [deserted to the goldfields?];
all received pay (eleven) from the "Adeline Gibbs," 1856, Capt. George T. Pomeroy, Fairhaven MA, ranging from $58.00 (Kaiakahi) to $82.44 (Kuhei); a Jack Allen received $195.95 but he was probably American.

Many Americans also are listed as hiring on in Honolulu, as well as Hawaiian citizens. Records at the Bernice Bishop Museum cover the period 1856-1893. Ship, as well as the name, is listed.
