A Cache Re-mast-ered 🪵 Traditional Cache

After the Drop Your Anchor Event in Friday Harbour, I was driving home (with a leftover cache prize in my possession) and spotted this stop.

What is this place?  Where did this come from?  Why is it here?

So I took a moment to answer those questions and place a cache! 

Turns out I was not the first to place a cache here, so I present to you, A Cache Re-mast-ered.

"Mast For a Great Ship

Here grew some of the largest pines ever found in Ontario. 

In 1853 a 120 foot log was cut on the farm ofThomas Webb, Lot 23, Con. 12, one of three large pines whose stumps still remain.

Hauled to the water by ten teams of horses, the log was shipped to England to become a mast for the "Great Eastern."

This epic iron vessel, the first with both sail and steam launched in 1858, was for fourty years the largest ship in the world.
