Geocache Description:


Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, established in 1891, is the Pacific Northwest's largest Naval shore facility and one of Washington State's largest industrial installations with over 14,000 skilled workers. The Shipyard has carried out its evolving mission to build, maintain, modernize, recycle, and support the US Navy's fleet through two world wars, countless technological advances, and difficult fluctuations in our nation’s economy. 

 

This multi will take you from one end of PSNS to the far end of NBK. Day shift at the Shipyard runs from 0720 to 1602. Keep in mind that traffic, parking, and muggle activity may pose a challenge near those times. The time of day and means of transportation you choose will help determine the difficulty of this cache. 

 

From the posted coordinates you can see the Shipyard's iconic hammerhead crane, declared a National Historic Landmark because of its integral role in battleship repair during World War II, and the historic Bulding 460 which houses the Shipyard's shipfitters, welders, and apprentice school. You can obtain the final coordinates by viewing the required message at the initial waypoint and completing the following puzzle.
