Current Goal

Help! The Excise Men are after me, and I need to travel on...and fast! Or it will be my fate to be impressed into the Royal Navy. Some day I will find me a way to cross the waters to America. There is a place in Oregon called Newport that would suit me just fine.

About This Item

Black House Smuggler

'Tis true, these old black houses of Mudeford in Christchurch Bay have seen many a smuggler. How else can people get their wine and spirits, tea and tobacco, when the duty on tea alone is 120%? 'Twas that fateful day, 16th July 1784, that did us in. 400 men strong we were, with 42,000 gallons of spirit and 8 tons of tea, all stacked on the jetty close by the Black House, ready to move out with 40 wagons and 300 horses. The Customs men, seven to a rowboat, don't give us no trouble, nor even the Revenue cutters with two dozen men apiece, but they brought HMS Orestes, an 18-gun sloop with a crew of 94. We got out booty away, but I was stranded ashore, and 'tis time to move on.

Retrieve It from a Cache 10/8/2006 Team Dakloos retrieved it from “Twee landen cache” – De groene grens Netherlands   Visit Log

De smuggler uit een prachtig toepasselijke cache. Een twee landen cache.

We zullen hem meenemen weer verder op weg. Of dat Amerika wordt? Dat is nog maar de vraag.

Today we went to our cache because we had to hide it on better place. When opened it there was a little party going on. The smuggler has made a new friend and asked us to take a picture.
So we did; we made the picture, changed the hiding spot of our cache a bit and left them alone.
