夏威夷 (Hawaii) ：1889年11月16日

一名水手在1865年到达夏威夷，他以为自己只会在这里待上短暂的时光。但是他却从马上摔下来，而摔断了一条腿。不过因为他实在不能过着没有船只的生活，所以他只好把欧胡市 (Oahu) ，也就是夏威夷的首都，当成是自己的家。在那里，这个有事业心的年轻人班哲民．法兰克林．迪林汉 (Benjamin Franklin Dillingham) 投资这个岛屿的未来，最后创建了欧胡市。当地的铁路在1889年11月16日正式完工，并且为夏威夷带来一阵经济热潮。


A sailor arrived in Hawaii in 1865 for what he thought would be a short visit. But, he was thrown from a horse and broke his leg. He couldn't leave with his ship, so he made Oahu, the island capital of Hawaii, his home. There, the enterprising young man, Benjamin Franklin Dillingham, invested in the island's future, eventually building the Oahu Railway that began operation on November 16, 1889. The railway helped bring about an economic boom in Hawaii.
