Shipshape and Bristol Fashion Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Team Mojo 100: Replaced many times only for it to go missing quickly, so archiving as this doesn't seem to be a very viable spot for a cache. 74 finds in 6 months isn't bad at all.

Geocache Description:


"Shipshape and Bristol Fashion" is a phrase that means "in good and seamanlike order with reference to the condition of a ship." The expression had its origin when Bristol was the major west coast port of Britain at a time when all its shipping was maintained in good order.*

The cache is a nautical nano placed near the SS Great Britain (pictured above) which is now permanently stationed at Bristol Harbourside, and is now a museum.
