A white man Walter Gibson was Prime Minister of Hawaii during the Kalakaua dynasty who spoke against the U.S. and the white race, and hatched a Imperial Colonistic scheme with Kalakaua to bring other Polynesian islands like Samoa into the Hawaiian fold. The new confederation was to be called Oceania and Kalakaua would be reign over it. They decided gunboat diplomacy would be best to convince the other Polynesians throughout the Pacific to go along with their plan. So they bought a ship, renamed it Kaimiloa, armed it with cannons, hired a "professional" Captain, and because they needed a crew they simply went to the reform school and obtained young men and attempted to train them.
