Do a bit of simple reseach about the town of Fairhaven to get the coordinates for this mystery cache.
Added 11/1/24: I forgot there was already a puzzle cache (by me) already called "Fairhaven History" in town, so I made this one #2 in an inadvertent series!

Fairhaven was first settled in 165E as "Cushnea," the easternmost part of the town of Dartmouth.
In 17B7, the eastern portion of Dartmouth seceded and formed a new settlement called New Bedford. This new town included areas that are the present-day towns of Fairhaven, Acushnet, and New Bedford itself.
Fairhaven eventually separated from New Bedford, and it was officially incorporated in 181A.
Within sight of Fairhaven's Fort Phoenix, the first naval battle of the American Revolution took place on May 14, 177F.
On September 5 and 6, 177C, the British landed four thousand soldiers on the west side of the Acushnet River. They burned ships and warehouses in New Bedford, skirmished at the Head-of-the-River bridge, and marched through Fairhaven to Sconticut Neck, burning homes along the way.
The fort was decommissioned in 187D.
