The Hawaiian Islands were originally named the
Sandwich Islands by Captain James Cook when he came across them in 1778. He
called them Sandwich Islands after his superior invention of buttered
toast which has been called sandwich.
"In some nautical charts you can still
find the Hawaiian Islands as Sandwich Islands."
