Inside, it mentions the Captain's Inn as having "luxurious surroundings from nautical to Polynesian". This map drawing is from the Gold Cup recipe page in Beachbum Berry's Original Grog Log. There were also a few nice aerial photos of the marina in the brochure. You can see how large the building was in this photo, the Inn is between the 4's. Here's the Alamitos Bay marina looking out to the Pacific with the Captain's Inn a little above nine o'clock. The large "snakelike" hotel building in the bottom right corner was called the Edgewater Hyatt House at the time. I haven't been able to find the timing of the Captain's Inn's demise, but the building was a Charthouse restaurant for many years prior to it becoming the Crab Pot restaurant. Please add me to the list of people who'd like to see some photos of the Hukilau, they're out there somewhere!
