Scenery of Maui's Beaches & Coastlline.
Cruise ship "Pride of America" moored in Kahului Harbor, Maui.
She is a U.S.-flagged inter-island cruise ship owned by Norwegian Cruise Lines. She weighs-in at more than 80,000 gross tons and is more than 920 feet (280 m) long. She has 15 decks and carries more than 3,000 passengers and crew. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_of_America for a brief history of a passenger ship that was supposed to mark the re-entry of the United States in the non-military ship-building industry.
The POA is one of what may turn out to be a dwindling number of large cruiseliners visiting the Islands in future. Legal, economic, and environmental issues seem to be conspiring to exclude her and similar large-displacement vessels from Maui's only commercial harbor. This would NOT cause local environmentalists to shed any tears.
Note the presence of the Coast Guard harbor patrol boat in the foreground.
