Article name[edit]

Considering that the alleged discovery of Hawaii by the Spanish consists of at least four parts, it might be a good idea to merge all of this into one article. This would include:

Alvarado de Saavedra's supposed South Kona shipwreck in 1527
Juan Gaetano's report in 1555
A stone image in the collection of the Vienna Museum of Ethnology of a Spanish grandee found in Hawaii. (Collections from Oceania and North America assembled by James Cook on his circumnavigations 1768–1780)
Other evidence, including oral histories, maps, artifacts, etc.

Proposed titles[edit]

Discovery of Hawaii by Spain
Spanish exploration of Hawaii
~~Exploration of Hawaii in the 16th century~~ - This is too narrow.

Spanish exploration of Hawaii[edit]

Certain historians and researchers suggest that the Spanish were the first Europeans to sight and make contact with the Hawaiian islands. The most frequently cited claim is that of Juan Gaetano's discovery of the islands in 1555, as shown in his report.

As early as 1527 allegations of Spanish shipwrecks in Hawaii have also been made, many point to Hawaiian folktales that speak of stranded voyagers as proof of this theory. Cnelso33 (talk) 19:08, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
