Lahaina Port Sub-Port Abolished by Treasury Order
Lahaina loses status as a sub-port of entry effective June 30, 1903, after Secretary L. M. Shaw abolishes it due to lack of traffic. Deputy Collector Love M. Vetlesen will have his $1200 annual salary discontinued. Vessels will enter Honolulu or Kahului before Lahaina, with protests expected from Lahaina residents. The change ends Lahaina’s brief 1901 established status and impacts local officials and agents, including Hackfeld & Co.
