Friends of the Falls of Clyde, a 19th-century oiler docked at Honolulu Harbor, received a notice Saturday that the ship has been impounded by the state Harbors Division.

Friends President Bruce McEwan said by telephone that he received the notice at his Pauoa Valley residence from state harbor police.

McEwan said the organization plans to request an administrative hearing to appeal the notice ordering the immediate removal from Honolulu Harbor.

“This makes absolutely no sense,” McEwan said.

McEwan said the Friends dispute the state’s allegation that the ship is a safety hazard. The group has asked to be given until July to either restore, remove or safely sink the ship, a national historic landmark.

He said the state has consistently said the 138-year-old sailing ship moored at Pier 7 is a safety hazard, but has given no details.

The Bishop Museum halted public access to the Falls of Clyde in 2007 and sold it to the Friends for $1 in 2008.

The state Harbors Division, part of the Department of Transportation, said it expected the Friends’ plan to include more immediate action and that the vessel poses an unacceptable risk to navigation.

Mosquitoes might have Zika

WAILUKU >> Two Maui residents who recently traveled overseas were infected with the Zika virus and may have spread it to local mosquitoes, Maui District Health Officer Dr. Lorrin Pang said in a news release Friday.

Travelers should take measures to prevent being bitten by mosquitoes when they return from areas with outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases, according to health officials.

The Zika virus causes mild, flu-like symptoms in most people but can cause severe brain-related birth defects if women are infected during pregnancy.

Many infected people will not experience any symptoms.

The virus continues to spread in various regions around the world. Travel-related cases are expected to increase this year.

The two Maui residents are the 11th and 12th cases this year of imported Zika in the state. Officials say Hawaii has no locally acquired Zika cases.

1 hospitalized in 3-car crash

A 44 year-old woman was hospitalized on Kauai and three others suffered minor injuries after three cars collided Thursday on Kuhio Highway in Waipouli.

Kauai police said the three vehicles were traveling just south of mile marker 7 near Coconut Marketplace at 1:30 p.m., heading toward Lihue when one of the vehicles, a white Nissan sedan, rear-ended a brown GMC MPVH, and that vehicle then rear-ended a silver Chevrolet.

The driver of the Nissan sedan, a Maui woman, suffered chest and back pain and was transported to Wilcox Medical Center.

The other drivers in the crash and a passenger in the Chevrolet sustained minor injuries and were treated and released at the scene.
