context_section_description: Although Haworth was offered a position with SASL to continue on that career path, he decided to immigrate to Australia in 1954. He arrived in Townsville in late 1954. Making his way to Sydney, he joined the ranks of Australian Oriental Line, which operated between Australia, Japan and the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong. In 1960, at the age of 29, Haworth become the youngest master of a vessel in the company's history, when he attained that rank on the SS Taiping. In the early 1960s, after his marriage to Geraldine Coates, he became a partner in a marine salvage firm. This was followed by his purchasing a marina in Northbridge. While operating the Northbridge marina, Haworth returned to visit the United Kingdom. On his way to his homeland, he stopped off in the United States. During his visit, he went on a sightseeing tour in New York City on the Circle Line. This excursion led him to devise a similar business plan for a waterways tour in Sydney. That plan would eventually solidify into the founding of Captain Cook Cruises in 1970.
