Artifacts from Hawaii's second king found

On April 6,1824, the entire crew and members aboard the King's ship were drunk and that is when it ran aground. Over 5 years, researching teams have been bringing up small pieces of the ship along with artifacts that will go into the Hawaii museum. The artifacts contain, shells, gold, silver, and much more. The second king of Hawaii was named King Kamehameha II. The 83 foot long ship was found in 10 feet of water and buried in 10 feet of sand. Even though the king only reined for a short period of time, he had a long lasting impact on Hawaii and the culture that it has.
