Geocache Description:

No boat needed to get this cache. Read the flag hoist to get the location of the cache which is at N54 43.ABC W001 15.DEF No room for trades.

As the Peterman you will need the code (GHI) to finally crack this one..

The system of international maritime signal flags is one system of flag signals representing individual letters/numbers of the alphabet in signals to or from ships. It is a component of the International Code of Signals (INTERCO) The most famous flag hoist was of course..... "England expects that every man will do his duty" sent by Admiral Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson from his flagship HMS Victory as the Battle of Trafalgar was about to commence on 21 October 1805. The Semaphore flag signaling system is an alpha-numeric signalling system based on the waving of a pair of hand-held flags in a particular pattern Why Peterman? The Chambers Dictionary states that it is slang for a safe-blower and that peter can mean a safe or a prison cell. Others suggest that it is of Scottish origin in which case it could relate to Peterhead Prison which housed many safe-breakers. Again others say it is just a safe-breaker. Could it perhaps be associated with the Old French – péter – meaning to crack or explode? It could even be derived from saltpetre, a component of gunpowder.
