Peter Pan St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. This statue was commissioned in 1925 by Sir Edgar Rennie Bowring in memory of his granddaughter who died at sea. The inscription reads “In memory of a little girl who loved the Park.”
The famous statue of Peter Pan is a memorial to Sir Edgar Bowring's godchild, Betty Munn. The young girl was one of ninety-four people who died when the S.S.Florizel struck a reef and capsized during a winter gale off the Southern Shore community of Cappahayden. The inscription on the statue which stands in her memory reads, " To a dear little girl who loved the Park." The statute is the work of George Frampton, and is a replica of the original located in Kensington Gardens, in England.
Based on J.M. Barrie's immortal character, Peter Pan, this bronze statue features Peter standing on a tree stump playing a flute (supposedly a set of pan pipes) whilst a collection of fairies, rabbits, squirrels and other little creatures adorn the base. The main fairy is believed to be Tinker Bell reaching towards Peter. Frampton described his masterpiece as follows; "The animals and fairies on the statue are listening to the Pipes of Pan, one of the mice is completing his toilet before going up to listen to the music, and the squirrel is discussing political matters with two of the fairies."
Each cache has a micro/nano container not far from the Peter Pan statue. Inside each stage one are the LONGITUDE and LATITUDE of two other Peter Pan final stages. Find geocache friends, swop Longs and Lats-and go find your own final stage two cache. If any of your team of friends with whom you have swopped Longs and Lats claim a find, then you can also claim their (overseas) find. This gives you a total of seven possible claimed finds.
Your log will need to name the members of your team and "tinkerbell" WILL require a PASSWORD from inside the final cache container BEFORE you can claim your find.
To find stage one in st. John's go to the given location. As you look up at Peter's eyes travel 36 steps in a North West direction. There you will find a micro cache . Don't forget to record the long and lat in there.
***Please note there is a first finders prize of an unactivated coin in the St. John's final cache.***
