Summary[edit]

Description
English: An ad for one of the inventors of the ukulele.

The first group of Portuguese immigrants to Hawaii invented the ukulele after they arrived in August 1879 via the SS Ravenscrag. That ship included cabinet makers from Madeira Island, who brought the Medeiran machete. In their new country, ukulele inventors Manuel Nunes, José do Espírito Santo, and Augusto Dias developed the ukulele, and the Hawaiians adopted it (ukulele means "jumping flea" in Hawaiian).

Text: “Jose Do Espirito Santo, Guitar Maker. Taro-patch and ukulele guitars. Made of Hawaiian woods. Reasonable prices.”
