Waldegrave's Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cache-tech: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have had no contact with the cache owner since my last note and there has been no notes posted to the cache page in that time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache.
When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link (Mine) across the top and then click on this cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
Cache-tech

Waldegrave Cache: Traditional Micro
SAFTY NOTE ( NOT IN THE BARREL )

The Waldegrave Cache

Placed mainly for the finder to enjoy the View. Small Container with Log Book to Sign. You don't have to leave or take anything.

* Located at the Entrance of St. John’s Harbour, Fort Waldegrave is named after Lord Waldegrave who was Governor of Newfoundland during the Napoleanic Wars. This Fort along with others was built for the Protection of the City.

Cannons were first mounted at Fort Waldegrave during King William's War. During Queen Anne's War, the French captured the gun emplacement and fired the cannon across the harbour at the South Side Castle. A fort was built at the site and it served to protect St. John's harbour during the American Revolution.

With the outbreak of war in 1914 the Waldegrave Battery was re-activated and in July 1916 responsibility for manning the Battery was given to the Legion of Frontiersmen.

After the war the barracks buildings at Fort Walegrave were sold but fell into disrepair and were torn down. The two 4.7-inch guns that were here was transferred to Fort Amherst in 1941. The gun area was later turned into a parking lot.
