Historical information

Caretakers Percy and Gladys Cook were involved in the activities of the Missions to Seamen, both at Outer Harbour and Port Adelaide and the Recreation Reserve, which became the North Haven Golf Club. Gladys Cook assisted in the Canteen at Outer Harbour and Percy maintained the dance floor and the billiard tables. The building in this image was known as the Lakeman Institute, after Adelaide businessman, Mr F. Lakeman, who funded construction. The Missions to Seamen building foyer once housed a large ship's model in a glass case. In addition to the cantee, the facilities included a chapel, a large dance floor and approximately six full-sized billiard tables.
