This statue of Princess Victoria Kaiulani Cleghorn
feeding her beloved peacocks was
unveiled in Waikiki during a ceremony and blessing
on October 16, 1999, which was the 124th anniversary of Princess
Kaiulani's birth. Cleghorn family heir Melinda
Cleghorn Alison participated in the ceremony by
leaving an offering at the base of the statue.
The statue is located in a small triangle park at the
corner of Kuhio Avenue and Kanekapolei Street in Waikiki.
During Kaiulani's lifetime that site was on the grounds
of her childhood home, known as Ainahau. Ainahau was
torn down in 1955 and this tiny park is all that remains
of her estate.
The Princess Kaiulani statue was created by
sculptor Jan Gordon Fisher who also created Waikiki's
famous Duke Kahanamoku statue. The Kaiulani statue
was commissioned by Outrigger Enterprises to demonstrate
their commitment to restoring Waikiki's historic past.
