All of the caches in this series are located at or near favourite foodie sites in Nova Scotia. We in Nova Scotia enjoy our producers and culinary craftsmen and there are so many places, from restaurants to wineries to farm markets, that show the variety of food and drink in this province.
This cache is near a foodie favourite restaurant. This location is another hotel dining room, that I haven't had the pleasure to eat at, but that should be remedied shortly. As for some info pertaining to the location? Well, privateering is a job that was heralded and despised, depending on which side of the guns you were on. Those on the receiving end usually named the perpetrators as pirates and if caught by the enemy were hanged and the bodies displayed in port to discourage such activity. As for the privateers themselves, there tended to be two kinds. Those that were forced or "pressed" into service by gangs, tended to work hard for little pay and rarely saw home again. The others worked under some of the best conditions of any men at sea, which included time off, a say in the work place, freedom to step off at any port, free alcohol, and a share of any treasure captured. As for Liverpool's connection to this seafaring past, the town was on the receiving and dishing end of privateers. During the American Revolution, Liverpool was raided and pillaged on several occasions until the townsfolk had enough and hired their own vessels named the Lucy and Hannah to give the American privateers a taste of their own medicine. During the War of 1812, Liverpool became a hub for British privateers harassing French traffic to the West Indies and American vessels bound for New England. Don't forget to look for some of the other caches in the series.
