Bay, bay light, cattle chute, saltpans, small boat harbor, Mānele, Lānaʻi. Mānele Bay, the most protected bay on the island, is the site of Mānele Small Boat Harbor. Constructed in 1965 in the west corner of the bay with a 570-foot rubblemound breakwater, its facilities include twenty-eight berths, a ramp, a pier, a dock, and a vessel washdown area. Mānele Bay Light was established in 1965 during the construction of the harbor. Ruins of a cattle-loading chute constructed in 1921 by the Kahului Railroad Company for the Lānaʻi Company are found on the west point of the bay. Two concrete slabs for making salt were also constructed in 1921 on top of the sea cliffs above the old cattle-loading chute. Water pumped into the pans from the ocean below was allowed to evaporate, and the resulting salt was used to make salt licks for the cattle. The residents of Lānaʻi also used the salt during World War II when salt and other staples were scarce. Lit., sedan chair.
