Etsy - JRaymondPhoto Mala Wharf Sunset Wall Decor Art Print Maui Lahaina Harbor Hawaii Pier Photography Beach House Gift Vacation Memory
Description
The original concrete pier was built in 1922, featuring steel reinforcements to disembark steamship passengers & load goods from commercial vessels. But, shortly after construction, the companies using the pier found Mala Wharf to be entirely inadequate for the job of servicing large steamships. However, this logistical error would not spell the end of Mala Wharf as a commercial harbor, as smaller vessels began using the sturdy structure to shuttle passengers, pineapples, & agricultural freight. At its height in the 1930s, Mala Wharf served a couple of essential functions in Lahaina. It famously became a small harbor for Humpback whale hunters & during World War Two got used by Navy sailors on their way to & from leave in Lahaina town. When Hurricane Iniki wrought tremendous havoc around Maui in early September 1992, with winds peaking at 150 mph, everything forever changed about Mala Wharf. Strong waves, 30-foot surf, & powerful gusts sent most of Mala Wharf to the sandy bottom. The resulting destruction spelled the end for Mala Wharf's commercial use in Lahaina. Despite its dilapidated condition, the Old Mala Wharf retains a sense of historical significance. It serves as a tangible reminder of Maui's agricultural past & the important role that sugar cane played in shaping the island's economy. The wharf's picturesque location & remnants evoke a sense of nostalgia & intrigue for visitors & locals alike. The pier continues to collapse & on a windy day & setting sun, I thought this could make for an interesting photo. The long exposure, allowed for some trailing clouds & smoothed out waves a bit to create a unique look. I hope you like it.
