Description

Inscribed "Tree Fern Forst near Kilauea Volcano on the Island of Hawaii. These ferns are forty feet and even more in height!" MATSON LINE -HAWAII-SOUTH SEAS-AUSTRALIA In the 1920s, Hawaii's tree fern forests were a prominent feature of the lush rainforests, particularly in the vicinity of Kīlauea on the island of Hawaiʻi. These forests were characterized by species such as the hāpuʻu fern (Cibotium), which still thrive today. Historic photos and records from this era can be found in collections that document the pre-World War II landscape of the islands.
