CAPTAIN COOPER CROSSING AND THE MARKET![]() I went for a walk along the beach from the White House Hotel towards the city centre. I was intrigued by the Pandurucan river crossing to the Market, so I took some photos which I have included on this page. The Market is situated between Capt. Cooper Street and Raja Solman St. As I do not know the name of the crossing I have referred to it as the Captain Cooper Crossing. Captain Lawrence Cooper was a guerilla leader in the Second World War. His group assisted the Americans in liberating Mindoro from the Japanese. He was killed when he saved members of his unit from the explosion of a grenade thrown by a Japanese soldier. At the time they were fighting the Japanese on Romblon Island.
