The city and county of Honolulu form a single governmental unit embracing the entire island of Oahu. The city proper extends for about 2 miles in each direction along the shore from the harbor and from 1 % to 4 miles inland.

Seven miles to the westward is the entrance to Pearl Harbor, a naval base.

Honolulu Harbor is well protected from all storms and has an average width of 1,400 feet, a length of 3,300 feet, and a minimum depth of 35 feet, its area being approximately 147 acres. In addition, a channel 400 feet in width, 35 feet in depth, and about one-half mile in length, connects the harbor with Kapalama Basin.

There are 28 piers and wharves in use in Honolulu at the present time. Of these, 5 are owned and operated by the United States Government; 13 facilities are owned by the Territory of Hawaii, of which it operates 12 and 1 (known locally as Piers 13 and 14) is leased to the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Co., Ltd.

Two of the piers owned by the Territory were constructed at Kapalama Basin for use in handling raw pineapple shipments from outside islands. In addition to the facilities leased from the Territory, the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Co. owns and operates five piers and wharves.

The Oahu Railway & Land Co. owns and operates 4 facilities and the Standard Oil Co. of California owns and operates 1 facility.

The Folks Behind the GG Archives

The GG Archives is the work and passion of two people, Paul Gjenvick, a professional archivist, and Evelyne Gjenvick, a curator. Paul earned a Masters of Archival Studies - a terminal degree from Clayton State University in Georgia, where he studied under renowned archivist Richard Pearce-Moses. Our research into the RMS Laconia and SS Bergensfjord, the ships that brought two members of the Gjønvik family from Norway to the United States in the early 20th century, has helped us design our site for other genealogists. The extent of original materials at the GG Archives can be very beneficial when researching your family's migration from Europe.
