Vancouver continues to negotiate with Kamehameha; on February 25, the King makes a formal proclamation of accession, declaring that they are "Tanata no Britanee" (People of Britain).
Precisely what Kamehameha meant by this may not be entirely clear since Britain exerts no sovereignty over the islands during his reign.
However, Vancouver's assistance to the King is helpful, particularly in lending tools and skilled workers for building him an armed thirty-six-foot craft, the Britannia.
The armaments may aid Kamehameha's decisive win at Battle of Nu'uanu the following year.
