Can you
find all the caches in THE TREASURE FLEET series? Find them
all, and you're half way to finding
X MARKS THE SPOT, a fine achievement
for a budding buccaneer!
This
series is based on a map of the Spanish Main in the Caribbean, with
the caches being named after the main cities that pirates plundered
on their travels! The location of the caches is intended to relate
to the location of the cities on the map, so you are actually
walking on the Spanish Main!

Puerto
Principe
After
almost continuous attacks from pirates the original city (founded
as Santa María del Puerto del Príncipe around 1515 on the northern
coast) was moved inland in 1528. The new city was built with a
confusing lay-out of winding alleys that made it easier to defend
it from any raiders. There are many blind alleys and forked streets
that lead to squares of different sizes. There is only one exit
from the city; should pirates ever return and succeed in entering
the city, the hope was that the local inhabitants would be able to
entrap and kill them. |
