Episode description
This week Taylor brings us the story of a vessel with a short but fascinating life - Cleopatra's Barge, which would later be renamed Ha'aheo o Hawai'i (Pride of Hawai'i) after being purchased by Kamehameha II for his personal use.
**This episode opens with a longer banter session than normal as we shake off the chains of the Spanish Armada series**
