Captain Cook Cruises

image by Jorge Candeias

Originated 1970 as Haworth Investments Pty. Ltd. being run by Captain Trevor Haworth, changing name to Captain Cook Cruises Pty. Ltd. in the early 1980s. The original flag was red with the white legend 'CAPTAIN COOK CRUISES", each word under the other. I do not have a date for the replacement flag shown here but it was shown in The Log of 11/1990.
