'Ships
This is a 3 box mystery series.It only has one 'ship's log' and that is in the last box. The other two are smaller and only have the stamp and ink. In order to figure out the town it is in I will give you a few clues.
1)This town was incorporated in 1700
2)There is a lot of Revolutionary War history here (especially on its green)
3) It is a rural, farming community for the most part.

Now to figure out where the three boxes are located (all in different places) you need to figure out this riddle:
There are three (3) of these between two (2) routes. All are in the same town. The routes when doubled and halved respectively equal each other. One route is only in the town for a very, very short distance. The three (3) things are the same although they have different names.

Have you figured it out? Good! Now let's begin our voyage.
Box #1-There are Big Ships...
Go to the one that has the same name as the road that all three (3) are located on. It is near the smaller (in number, not length) route. Once you are there you will see a white shed to the left. Go behind this shed and follow the stone wall that is on the left. Once you reach the left back corner stop. From here turn right and walk 14 paces. At this spot look left. You will see a very interesting stump. It looks as though it has roots of another growing out of and into itself. Behind this stump, tucked into its slip you will find a Big Ship.

Box #2 and Little Ships...
Now you need to find the one in the 'center'. When you have located it, walk through the main gate. Once you have walked through the opening go to the corner of the stone wall on your right. Walk along this wall until you come to a small stream that comes from under the wall. Just before this stream you will see a 4 sister tree. Behind this tree, on the left, in the wall you will find your little ship. There is poison ivy all through here, so search at your own discretion.

Box #3 but the best ships are...
Now you can search for your final box and the 'ship's log'. You will need to cross another route. but stay on the same route that you have been on. The next place is named after someone who was very prominent in the Revolutionary War. Once you have figured out where it is, walk through the center gate. Go all the way to the back in the center looking for a stone wall near water. You will see a wonderful Beech tree if you are in the right spot. Go to the wall at this tree and turn left. Walk 8 steps and stop. Look right and deep in the wall is the 'best ship'.
I highly recommend doing this with someone else. Preferably someone that you like!
We hope you enjoyed your mystery cruise. Please rehide all boxes better than found.
