The Hawai`i Maritime Center is now part of the
Hokule`a, a scientific research vessel of great importance to native Hawaiian
culture.
Due to prevailing economic conditions, the Hawai'i Maritime Center was closed to the public effective May 1, 2009. In December 2017, the Bishop Museum transferred its lease between the Maritime Center and the State of Hawaii to a third party, and ceased operating the center. Plans for its future were unknown at that time.[1] This third party would be known as the Hawaii Pacific University and in 2015, the facility was converted to be part of its campus.[2][3]
