Editing Lahaina, Hawaii (section)

==== Whaling ====
Lahaina was an important destination for 19th-century whalers who came to reprovision their ships with fresh water, fruit, potatoes and other vegetables. The town provided ample rest and recreation for their crew whose presence frequently led to conflicts with the local missionaries.<ref>{{cite web |title=Lahaina Harbor History |publisher=Hawaii Harbors Network |url=http://www.lahainaharbor.com/history.html |access-date=May 17, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170602020803/http://www.lahainaharbor.com/history.html |archive-date=June 2, 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref> On more than one occasion the conflict became so severe that sailors rioted. The British whaling ship {{ship||John Palmer|1807 ship|2}} in 1827 shelled Lahaina. In response, Governor Hoapili built the [[Lahaina Fort|Old Lahaina Fort]] in 1831 to protect the town from disorderly conduct of sailors.{{sfn|Busch|1993|pages=91–118<!-- Need to be  more specific about pages -->}}<ref>Maui Historical Society.
