A view of the West Maui Mountains from the shoreline at Kanaha Beach, near Kahului Harbor, north Maui.
When one of the huge ocean-going cruise ships docks in Kahului Harbor (located on the windward side of Maui), its multi-storied upper decks tower above the modest skylines of Kahului and Wailuku (the Maui County seat). This photo was taken from Kanaha Beach.

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.
