Look at Sparhawk Street and find the cache, plus learn about Nathaniel Sparhawk whose surname graces this road. A small cache container [bottle pre-form with camouflage tape] near lots of muggles in a small city park at sea level with very easy terrain. Park and grab it, yo! But be ver-ry careful about where you park as the parking patrol is patrolling!
What is the Sparhawk Effect? You find yourself wondering this while standing in a small city park near Sparhawk Street.
Nathaniel Sparhawk lived in Kittery, Maine in the years just prior to the American Revolution. In 1764, the noted American painter, John Singleton Copley, produced a life-size portrait of Sparhawk that depicts an 18th century gentleman. Currently, this portrait is an example of a swagger portrait – paintings known for their “inflated if not actually imaginary settings.” Prominent citizens of the colonial era favored these portraits; but Nathaniel Sparhawk had only the pretense of prominence and prosperity. The Sparhawk Effect refers to a circumstance where the impression created by a portrait or picture does not reflect the underlying reality.
