HRNM Online Scavenger Hunt #1 now on BLOG

Many of you emailed me asking if the Scavenger Hunt could be posted here on the blog.  Ask and you shall recieve.  Subsequently, I will post each week's scavenger hunt on the blog.   

How about a little incentive?  The first to achieve 50 points (Masters Mate) will recieve a copy of the Civil War Special Edition Daybook and a HRNM Challenge Coin (shown left)!  This means you must dedicate at least five weeks to the online scavenger hunt.  Remember, don't post your answers here - send your answers to hrnmed@gmail.com, or follow the directions from the original blog post.

I will post the scavenger hunt below as requested:



Scavenger Hunt #1 (2 May - 8 May)

QUESTION I:  PICTURE HUNT (3 Points)

Where is this? _____________________________

QUESTION II:  CWN RIDDLE (5 Points)

One month from now,
She set to sea,
To stop the flags of merchant ship.
To break blockade and commerce raid,
No U.S. vessel it seemed to skip.

Her captain, CS Navy’s pride,
Some say a “pirate” of a man.
Though painter’s name which marks his name,
She named after war began.

Seceding states,
Location found?
Though state of mind may help you here.
Palmetto Trees and fort well known,
When April cannons you will hear.

What ship? _______________________________

QUESTION III:  QUOTATION (2 Points)

“We have now some 7,000 master-less slaves within our line and in less than two months we shall have nearer 70,000, and what are we to do with them?”

Who said this? ____________________________

Send your three answers to hrnmed@gmail.com with your full name so we can tabulate the scores over time.
