English: Outline of Honolulu in 1845, from The Friend, October 1, 1845.
The town of Honolulu, (measuring five sixths of a mile long, and two thirds wide,) the most populous of all upon the Hawaiian Islands, is situated on the south side of Oahu. It is the Capital of the Islands, and the most important sea port in the north Pacific ocean. The population, native and foreign has been estimated at from 8 to 10 thousand Mr. H. Ehrenberg, a German Engineer, has recently been employed by the Government to survey the streets and draw a map of the town. He has politely placed at our disposal a small map, designed for a wood engraving for the coulumns of the Friend, and by the gratuitous services of Mr. Dimonds, of the Am. Mission, we are happy to present our readers with the above view of Honolulu.
