Geocache Description:

Time: 4:05 PM
Place: off Oak Point Park, IN Put-In-Bay
Launch: TBD



Learning about the history of our area is one of our favorite things about geocaching. Instead of a traditional cache to honor one of the greatest US Naval battles of it's day, we decided a re-enactment of The Battle of Lake Erie would be a great way to share the Lake Erie islands history with geocachers. Persons wishing to actively participate should contact us to sign up to be one of the ships. Hand-powered only during battle please! Others may watch from their personal boat or wave a supportive flag from nearby land.

The battle of Lake Erie took place between the US Navy and England's Royal Navy. 6 kayaks will represent the Royal Navy's fleet, and 9 kayaks will represent the US Fleet.
