An easy cache near the campus of Christopher Newport University. Notice whats missing from the massive statue? You do not have to enter the garden area around the statue. This cache has been moved from it's original placement after some very thorough groundskeepers kept stumbling upon the original. Apologies for those with DNF's, as I am not so thorough as the aforementioned groundskeepers.
Christopher Newport (c. 1561–1618) was an English sailor and privateer. He is best known as the captain of the Susan Constant, the largest of three ships which carried settlers for the Virginia Company in 1607 on the way to found the settlement at Jamestown in the Virginia Colony, which became the first permanent English settlement in North America.
He made several voyages of supply between England and Jamestown; in 1609, he became Captain of the new supply ship Sea Venture, which met a hurricane and was shipwrecked on Bermuda. That event began Bermuda's permanent settlement by England. That archipelago (also known officially as the Somers Isles after Sir George Somers, Admiral of the Virginia Company, who also survived the Sea Venture wreck) is still a territory (the current term for what were previously called possessions, dependencies, or colonies) of the United Kingdom almost 400 years later.
History states that unlike his likeness you see, Newport had a hook on his right hand.
