Hokule’a, the famous replica of an ancient Polynesian voyaging canoe, visited Martha’s Vineyard in June of last year.

It was all hands on deck, or rather the water, as the Hokule’a entered Vineyard Haven Harbor Tuesday for its official mooring on Martha’s Vineyard as part of a round-the-world journey.

Next week, the 40-foot double-hulled canoe Hokule'a will arrive in Vineyard Haven for a three-day visit, having traveled three-quarters of the way around the world from its home port of Honolulu.

On Tuesday, July 28 the Hokule'a will sail into Vineyard Haven Harbor for a three-day visit to Martha's Vineyard. The goal of the trip is to “weave a lei of hope” by sharing the stories of people working to achieve a sustainable way of life.

The Wampanoag people in Aquinnah are building the muhsh8n (pronounced mishoon) in preparation for the arrival of the Hokule’a on Tuesday.

When Hokule’a sails into Vineyard Haven on June 28, the captain and navigator Bruce Blankenfeld will guide her to Tisbury Wharf.
