→‎Features: Claiming he "ignored" photos and Europeanized is too strong a claim (unsrcd); he relied on 1834 engraving of Kamehameha, but was asked to make him 45 yr old. Twealing info about sash/baldric →‎Replicas: The placement of original belongs above, so upslided. Also wasn't Capt. of the wrecked ship who sold original, so inserting ship names.

During this time, David [[Kalākaua]] became king and was completing [[ʻIolani Palace]] which was his tribute to King [[Kamehameha I]] and to be the destination of the statue. The statue was too late for the 100th anniversary, but in 1880, the statue was placed aboard the German barque ''G. F. Haendel'' and headed for Hawaii. Near the [[Falkland Islands]] the ship wrecked and the statue was thought lost. However, the Hawaiians had insured the statue for $12,000 and a second casting was quickly made.{{sfnp|Rose|1988|p=132}}<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.aoc.gov/cc/art/nsh/kamehameha.cfm|title=Kamehameha I|work=Architect of the Capitol {{!}} United States Capitol|access-date=2018-05-15|language=en}}</ref>
 
Before the second statue could be sent, the original was recovered by some Falkland Islanders. They sold it to Capt. Jervis of the ''EarlofDalhousi'' for $500, who brought it to Honolulu and sold it to Gibson for $875. The original with minor damages was repaired, and was relocated to the legendary king's birthplace at ʻĀinakea in [[Kohala, Hawaii|Kohala]] on [[Hawaii (island)||Hawaiʻi Island]] with the dedication ceremony taking place on May 8, 1883. The statue was moved a short distance in 1912 to its present location at the courthouse [[Kapaau|Kapaʻau]].{{sfnp|Rose|1988|pp=132–133}}
