Summary

Description
English: Mary Ann Kameʻehiwa Tressilyan Beckley, "The Rose of the Pacific", was the only daughter of Doctor Tressilyn, companion of Doctor Rooke. She was considered the most beautiful of the Hawaiian group about the throne and was given her title to beauty by Kamehameha IV. At the time of her marriage with William Beckley, a dance was given in her honor the next evening, when the King christened her as "The Rose of the Pacific". She was the ward at first of Doctor Rooke. No social activity at the court, the consulates or on the warships was considered complete without Mary Ann Tressilyn Beckley. She was also prominent in church work, being a devout Roman Catholic. It was she who made the first effort to raise money to purchase seats for the Roman Catholic Cathedral. She was a staunch friend of the royal family up to the time of her death and she was deeply devoted to Queen Emma and Princess Bernice Pauahi bishop and was much loved by them in return.
