Source: "Captain George Beckley, an English sea captain who came to these islands about 1801, was undoubtedly the originator of the flag of Hawaii. He brought to the Island a vessel which was purchased by the chiefs and was called "Humehume" by the natives. He afterwards made numerous voyages between Hawaii and Mexico and also between Hawaii and China. According to the family traditions he made the first Hawaiian flag about 1806 or 1807. The logbook of the captain, in which was recorded the fact that he had made the flag, was unfortunately lost by his descendents several decades ago. It is certain, according to family records, that he made this first flag into a child's frock which was worn by each one of his children in succession, 'and was long preserved as an heirloom of the family" [1]
