the Republican Party were often under question. In 1917, during Pinkham's governorship, the deposed former monarch of the Hawaiian Islands, Queen Liliuokalani, died and was buried at the Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii. The construction of what would become the Ala Wai Canal and the drainage of the Waikīkī marshlands are credited for enabling the development of Waikīkī as a tourist center, and are considered to be one of the most enduring legacies of Pinkham's tenure. Pinkham also worked aggressively to improve the military defense of Hawaii. He voluntarily resigned from his position and was replaced by Charles J. McCarthy on June 22, 1918. Pinkham, who never married, died November 2, 1922, in San Francisco, California.
