I reviewed the little I had regarding the Honolulu fall, and have to make a retraction -- or maybe a redirection. Although my material cannot confirm whether any fragments struck ships at anchor in the harbor, several did fall on and around the mission house settlement by the harbor, one striking "coral rock", which was commonly used for construction of walls and houses. Before I could definitively say Honolulu was a hammer, I'd have to do more research to confirm it, but it's not unlikely.
BTW, I think my statement came from misreading the original article in Aloha Airline's inflight magazine; it said that sailors from the Russian frigate Predpriatie took meteoric fragments back to Russia with them. I had thought that meant they collected pieces that fell on the ship. Apparently they instead collected them on the mission house grounds and brought them aboard. My small piece at least has that likely provenance!
