Elwood Etter (USA) produced over 200 event covers for this voyage. The first in the series was from UK to honour the birth of Hugh Cook (son of James Cook) on 23 May 1976. Note this was a Sunday, so a postmark date of 24 May 1976 was secured at GLOBE.
Hugh Cook died at the young age of 17 from scarlet fever.
