Current Goal

I am a piece of soapstone from the Canadian Arctic. I was discovered in August 2012 by a crew member of the Canadian Warship HMCS ST. JOHN’S while visiting the remote Inuit community of Cape Dorset.

My only goal is to travel as far SOUTH on this great planet as possible. Please pick me up and move me only if you can take me SOUTH. Please do not hang on to me as I have been sitting around in one spot for what seems like FOREVER!

When I reach the south pole, then send me back to my home and native land.

About This Item

Cape Dorset 64°13′54″N 076°32′25″W / 64.23167°N 76.54028°W / 64.23167; -76.54028 is where the remains of the Thule (Tuniit, Dorset Culture) was discovered. This culture lived between 1000B.C and 1100 A.D.. Cape Dorset was named by Captain Luke Fox after Edward Sackville, 4th Earl of Dorset on September 24, 1631. The Inuit originally called the inlet Sikusiilaq before it was named Cape Dorset, after the area of sea ocean nearby that remains ice free all winter.

The Hudson Bay Company started a trading post in 1913, where they traded furs and skins for supplies like tobacco, ammunition, flour, gas, tea and sugar. Since the 1950s, Cape Dorset, which calls itself the "Capital of Inuit Art" has been a centre for drawing, printmaking, and carving. Even today, printmaking and carving are the community's main economic activities. Cape Dorset has been hailed as the most artistic community in Canada, with some 22% of the labour force employed in the arts^.

Not in the cache "Discover me". As the owner of the TB, you can mark it as "missing" on the page of the cache. It won't affect its journey should somebody find it in another cache but it will at least make the inventory of the cache accurate.

So glad my trackable has made it to Key West. My ship (HMCS ST. JOHN'S) berthed at the jetty just a couple hundred metres from this cache. I know the area very well. Many thanks to cjcoutts and Team World Tour for logging so many miles and getting it this far SOUTH! Onward....
