As a After landing, he made an agreement with Kahekili II (the chief of the island at that time) that he would offer his military assistance against Kamehameha for use of the harbor. I will try to finish the report in several weeks, condense it, then enter the content.
Around the year 1792 (the exact date is unknown; the landing could have been as late as March 1793), Captain William Brown, an English merchant, landed in the harbor of Honolulu. Splitting his army into two, Kamehameha sent one half of his army around the crater and the other straight to Kalanikupule. This was clearly wrong.

The only Wai'ale I know of is on Maui and Waialae is next to Waikiki.As you can see, the current article is very incomplete. I have just modified 2 external links on Battle of Nuʻuanu.
