Hawaii is very special to local Celts because of

Kamehameha filled Maui's Kahului harbor with a fleet of war canoes and a cannon (operated by two Celts: Scot John Young and Welshman Isaac Davis). On the 3^rd day of the battle, Kamehameha brings out the cannon and slaughters Maui's then-reigning King Kahekili's warriors. see 1790 Maui chronology The cannon were the main reason the tide of battle went his way.

Princess Kai'ulani (kah-E-ooh-lah-nie)The haunting story of the Scottish-Hawaiian Princess Victoria
Kaiulani. the daughter of Princess Miriam Kapili Likelike (pronounced "Lee-keh-lee-keh") and Scotsman Archibald Scott Cleghorn, prosperous businessman, horticulturist, and eventual Governor of O’ahu during Queen Lili’uokalani’s reign; the fragile beauty who, as heir-apparent was groomed all her life to be the future Queen of Hawaii. Despite the struggles of loyal Royalists who fought for the beleaguered throne, Kaiulani's birthright was swept away forever when the Monarchy was overthrown in January, 1893. Hawaii was annexed to the United States on August 12th 1898. The Princess died seven months later, at the age of twenty three.
