Meeting by 'The Star of India' on Wednesday 13th. July 2016. We will be there between 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
We look forward to meeting you all. Greetings from the Isle of Man.
If you take a look at the Stargazer cache GC1B5YK and the Euterpe cache GC3H1G2 here in San Diego, you will see that you need to exchange co-ordinates with cachers from the Isle of Man in order to find the Euterpe mystery cache. So if you haven't yet found them, you can get 4 "finds", all in one evening at one event! (plus any other waterfront caches you might want to find). We are bringing some Isle of Man souvenirs for attendees and are also planning on eating at Anthony's Fishette after the event and anyone who wishes will be welcome to join us.
Star of India is the world's oldest active sailing ship. She began her life on the stocks at Ramsey Shipyard in the Isle of Man in 1863. Iron ships were experiments of sorts then, with most vessels still being built of wood. Within five months of laying her keel, the ship was launched into her element. She bore the name Euterpe (pronounced You-terp-ee), after the Greek muse of music and poetry.
She is the world’s oldest sailing ship that still puts to sea. She has had mixed fortunes in her long history and has circumnavigated the earth 21 times, but now enjoys a quiet life as a floating museum in San Diego, California.
