The attached image generally shows Kāne‘ohe Bay as it is today.
The Marine Base is at the bottom/right, the “Ship Channel” runs from
there, all the way to the top of the image, past Mokoli‘i (Chinaman’s Hat)
across from the Kualoa Park.
Zoom in and you can follow the channel from the Base, weaves through
the Bay, to the entrance/exit at Mokoli‘i.
Notice the patch reefs with discernible straight edges … that’s the
result of the dredging operations.
Likewise, you can see areas that have clear cuts in reefs that look
submerged (almost like shadows between untouched reefs and deeper water) -
these were the areas dredged to lesser depths.
