The HawaiianFeather Helmet, known as a Mahiole in the Hawaiian language, was usedhistorically by Hawaiian royalty. There are examples of this traditionalhelmet in Honolulu, Vienna, Madrid and London. A number of these helmetsclaim some connection with Hawaiian Chieftains and the voyages ofCaptain Cook. The helmets are featherwork based on woven structuresdecorated with bird feathers. There are said to be sixteen helmets thatcame back from Cook's voyages in museums worldwide.[4] One of thesehelmets was included in a painting of Cook's death by Johann Zoffany andsome say it was the helmet given to Cook when he first landed in Hawaiithe year before.
