Geocache Description:

  Located just 3.5 miles from town, the museum’s cache can easily be reached by car, shuttle/Polpis route or by the Polpis bike path.

Bring a pencil and your stealth skills.

  Treacherous shoals and inclement weather led to over 700 shipwrecks in the surrounding waters of Nantucket, causing the area to be dubbed “a graveyard of the Atlantic.” This lifesaving station-turned-museum has a variety of family friendly displays of artifacts telling the stories of these shipwrecks and the valiant efforts made by the islanders to save the lives of mariners in distress.

The museum is very accessible to children and people with a wide array of disabilities, as is the geocache. There is a Wave shuttle bus stop close by and other geocaches along trails not far from this location.

Visit NantucketShipwreck.org for more info about the museum and the Egan Maritime Institute.
