Preliminary Clue

Find ye a map mate, b’fore ye go look,

Belay by th’ chamber, or visit me on facebook.

Blimey! Here’s ye a hint t’ findin’ me bounty.

Read “Images o’ America: Santa Rosa County”.

Clue 1

Search through th’ book, an’ find Company K

Seek a spot ‘cross th’ street, from where they waited that day.

If ye stand like th’ bucko, who took th’ photo o’ them all,

Th’ key will be behind ye, fadin’ on a brick wall.

Clue 2

Lower th’ anchor, raise th’ colors aloft th’ mast,

Pedal ashore th’ River, t’ see veterans o’ centuries past.

Aft walk’n th’ planks, there’s a place ye should go,

T’ fetch a drink wi’ your foot, an’ see th’ key beside “O”.

Clue 3

Aft a drink at th’ fount’n, cross the bridge mate

Spy th’ flag o’ th’ Fleet, an’ their plaque from ’88

Wi protection an’ services, th’ key does nay hide

It’s float’n above an anchor, found within three sides
