Pauahi (c.1804–1826) was a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Hawaii in the House of Kamehameha.
Five men were killed in the catastrophe, her mother house was burned to the ground, and she was badly injured.
[2] Her first husband Kamehameha II died in London in 1824 and she became Queen dowager like all his other wives at a very young age.
Her daughter's unorthodox birth was a reason Keʻelikōlani was regarded somewhat outside the legitimate Hawaiian nobility.
Pauahi died after giving birth to Keʻelikōlani, and the cause was said to have been a flu type of illness which killed many people in 1826.
