 | | Kamehameha flew the British flag over his compound and on his war canoes and ships until 1816, when the Hawaiian flag was hoisted with its Union Jack and eight red, white and blue stripes. |
| | In the afternoon a thanksgiving service was held at Kawaiahao Church and Kamehameha III uttered the words Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono (The life of the land is preserved by righteousness), which is today the motto of the State of Hawai'i. |
| | With the advent of the Victorian Age, the Hawaiian monarchy departed from its Congregationalist ties and during the reign of Kamehameha IV joined the Episcopal Church, the American wing of the Church of England. |
