04 August 2014


Monday, 4 August, is the 49th anniversary of self-government in the Cook Islands. This image is of Penrhyn wharf and was taken by John Macmillan Brown, possibly in 1919. Penrhyn is the largest and Northernmost atol in the Cook Islands. Can you tell us anything about this image or do you have any stories to share about Penhryn or the Cook Islands?
