Pele received the gift of the sea, and she herself only brought it

And from that time to this, Pele and all her family forsook their
former land of Hapakuela and have dwelt in Hawaii-nei, Pele coming
first and the rest following at a later time.

Kauai. From there she went to Kalaupapa, [1] on the island of
Molokai, and dwelt in the crater of Kauhako at that place; thence
she departed to Puulaina, [2] near Lahainaluna, where she dug out

she stayed until she hollowed out that great crater; and finally she
settled at Kilauea, on the island of Hawaii, where she has remained
ever since. [3]
