Summary
| Description |
English: Winee. Naturelle D'Owhyhee L'Une Des Iles Sandwich. Paris. 1794. This fine engraving of a Woman of the Hawaiian Islands was sketched by a member of Captain John Meares' crew during his voyages to America's Pacific Northwest, China and Hawaii in the years 1786, 1788 and 1789. This copper engraving was from the French Edition of “John Meares Voyages Made in the Years 1786, 1788 and 1789.” published in Paris, in 1794. Winee went to the Pacific Northwest aboard the British ship Imperial Eagle as the servant of wife of the ship's captain Charles Barkley. She was left in Canton where she decided to return to Hawaii aboard Captain John Meares's ship with fellow Hawaiian Kaiana, but she died of illness on the voyage on February 5, 1788. |
