Jack Brooke Cruise Collection Kiariki 1962/6
Jack Brooke Cruise Collection #4 – Kiariki Xmas 1962- 63
Thanks to Robert Brooke for making another of these remarkable cruise drawings done by his father, Jack Brooke, available to ww followers. Jack produced a hand drawing on each cruise. Todays post is the fourth of several – enjoy.
The above drawing records the travels of Kiariki during their annual Christmas / New Year Cruise to Whangaroa, Bay of Islands, Gt Barrier & all points North
Crew: John Brooke, Elsie Brooke, Peter Walker, Rob Wallace.
This one is my favourite – the detail & humour is first-class 🙂
