Geocache Description:


Davy Jones Locker Series: An examination of ships that took a trip to the infamous Davy Jones Locker.

Background: Special thanks to GypsyHeadHunters for suggesting this as a Davy Jones Locker series topic. At first I didn't feel like it qualified, until they informed me a prototype had been made and sunk. Then I said, "This is perfect."

Puzzle: Answer the following questions to solve for the coordinates.

N 36 AB.BCD W 83 VW.XYZ 

-The project would have been abandoned in 19XZ if not for the invention of pykrete.

-A BB by WY foot prototype was constructed at Patricia Lake, Alberta

-The design of the ship called for a A000 foot long deck to accomodate bombers.

-Lord Mountbatten demonstrated the potential of pykrete at the Quebec Conference of 19CV

-A plaque commemorating the project was placed on the shore of Patricia Lake in 198D
