Outrigger Resort Women's T-Shirt

In late 1963, the lease on the oceanfront land occupied by the Outrigger Canoe Club was due to expire.  When negotiations unraveled over a price dispute with the Sheraton brand, the land representative walked out of the room, called Outrigger Hotels founder Roy Kelley, and asked him if he was interested in leasing the site. Without a moment’s hesitation, he said “yes.” The Outrigger Waikiki was built in 1967, becoming the first hotel to bear the Outrigger name.
