On May 18, 2016, Hōkūleʻa arrived into the U.S. capital via the Potomac River. Along the way, the crewmembers had to drop Hōkūleʻaʻs masts and sails twice to cross under the 14th Street Bridge, George Mason Memorial Bridge, Arlington Memorial Bridge, Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Bridge, and Francis Scott Key Bridge before arriving at the Washington Canoe Club. Mahalo nui to the hardworking crewmembers who made this day possible.
