Geocache Description:


Welcome to our second cache, The HMS Fantome Cache. In 1969, my grandfather wrote these words (Pictured below) on the rock where this cache is located before he passed away in 1999. I chose to place this cache here as it is one of my favorite spots along the shores of Nova Scotia. The cache itself is located along the rock where my grandfathers writing is located. It is in a small pill container.

 

 

HMS Fantome was an 18-gun brig-sloop of the Royal Navy. She was originally a French privateer brig named Fantôme, which the British captured in 1810 and commissioned into British service. Fantome saw extensive action in the War of 1812 until she was lost in a shipwreck at Prospect, Nova Scotia, near Halifax in 1814
