History
A ferry service ran between Sans Souci and Taren Point from 1911. From April 1916 a vehicular punt ran between the two points, and continued to do so even after the opening of the Tom Uglys Bridge in 1929.
The Captain Cook Bridge was opened in 1965. It is named after Captain James Cook who landed at nearby Kurnell on 29 April 1770, during his first voyage of discovery aboard the Endeavour.
