#' A SpatialLinesDataFrame containing 12 lines outlining the coastline of
#' Hawaii. The Shapefile from which this coastline was queried can be found at
#' \url{http://nationalmap.gov/small_scale/atlasftp.html}  (file 'coastll010g.shp.tar.gz'). 
#' 
#' From metadata of the shapefile, attributes of the points are as follows:
#' \enumerate{
#'       \item Coastln010 = An internal sequence number delineating lines.
#'       \item Miles =  The length of the coastline segment, in miles.
#' }
