Detta är en
liten cache på en vacker och historiskt intressant plats på
Vinga.
Här finns "tecken" från historien.
This small cache is a
transparent plastic tube (40 x 120 mm)
and had the following content from start:
- Cache log
- Pencil
- A picture of
my Smashing GeoCaching Dogs (the SGCD) (NB, not a trading object! If you want a
picture of the SGCD send me an e-mail and I will send you a
picture!)
- One Gavia caching business
card
- One stainless hose clip
(slangklämma)
- One sheet hook
(skothake)
I placed the cache here
when we traditionally finished off the sailing season on Vinga,
with a nice seafood dinner and our traditional lobster
supper.
The reason why the
cache is here, is that I want to show some "Signs" from the
history of Göteborg, in the surroundings of my home
town.
The first sign
is a pillbox (bunker) built here during the second world war, which
was a vital part of the defence of the harbour entrance to
Göteborg!
The second
sign is a giant concrete “table” (tavla). This sign
is remains from the historical period when Göteborg was one of the
most important shipyard towns in the world! Götaverken, Lindholmen
and Eriksberg are shipyard names still well-known and respected all
over the world!
There are three more
similar signs, as this "table sign", in the archipelago of Göteborg
(see picture below). They are “connected” in pairs,
where one pair of signs in line with each other, marks a leading
line out at sea. Between those two lines is a specified distance,
which was used during speed checks of the new built ships, before
delivery.
I wish you a
pleasant walk on Gattulven!
