Pearl Harbor was originally an extensive, shallow embayment called Wai Momi meaning harbor of pear or Pu’uloa by the Hawaiians. Pu’uloa was regarded as the home of the shark goddess Ka’ahupahau and her brother or son Kahi’uka. In Hawaiian legends, Keaunui, the head of the powerful and celebrated Ewa chiefs, is attributed the honour of having cut a navigable channel near the present Puuloa saltworks, by which the great estuary, now known as “Pearl River, was in all subsequent ages rendered accessible to navigation. Making due allowance for legendary amplification of a known fact, the estuary doubtless had an outlet for its waters where the present gap is but the legend is probably correct in giving Keaunui the credit of having widened it and deepened it, so as to admit the passage of canoes, and even larger vessels, in and out of the Pearl River estuary. The harbor was teeming with pearl-producing oysters until the late 1800s.
