Geocache Description:

**  DO NOT GO TO THE LOCATION VISIBLE ON THE MAP  **

You must solve the puzzle for the container coordinates.


***CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!**

 

You won't need to read any of the books in the Jacky Faber series to solve the puzzles in this cache series. A simple search will answer all the questions, which are related to many of the factual places and events the author, L.A. Meyer, used.

 

The Battle of Trafalgar



At the Battle of Trafalgar, gunpowder blasts were enough to conceal Jacky’s identity while she fought in hand-to-hand combat alongside men twice her size.

 

Puzzle:  

 

Use the painted map of the Battle of Trafalgar to find the order of the ships in the column directly behind Nelson's flagship.  Finish the crossword puzzle.  The shaded squares will help you find your final coordinates.
