'Cuzco' was built in 1900 for Captain John Kent Ridler, retired Master Mariner and one of P&O's original Captains. He resided here with his wife Bessie Kate and their only son, also John Kent Ridler.
Captain Ridler took command of SS Cuzco of the Orient Steam Navigation Line (Orient Line) in 1881; hence the house was named after his favourite ship. SS Cuzco was the first ship to transport refrigerated meat to and from Australia. Captain Ridler was then selected to command the SS Orient in 1886 when the Orient line & the Pacific Steam Navigation Line created a joint venture known as the Orient-Pacific Line that later became P&O.
