Captain Cook's Monument Located on the roadside in the rural town of Waimea in Hofgaard Park (also known as Tamago -- egg-shaped -- Park), is the site where British Captain James Cook first landed in Hawaii in 1778. Cook, with his ships the Resolution and Discovery, was the first westerner to discover the islands. Photo by: Fred Patricio, Jr.
