Don Francisco de Paula Marin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Don Francisco de Paula y Marin (November 28, 1774 - October 30, 1837) was a confidant of Hawaiian King Kamehameha. Marin, known as "Manini", was a jack of all trades, sometimes acting as a physician. As a botanist, Marin was notable for his planting of fruits and vegetables and for establishing the first vineyard in Hawaii.[1] In 1813, Marin cultivated the Hawaiian Island's first pineapple crop in Honolulu.[2] On December 10, 1819, Marin was commissioned as a captain in the Hawaiian Army.[3]
