Was hoping it might be the Momi, but the sinking occurred too far west to match our coordinates (Though the latitude is about right).

We must have missed something in the clues.
Making a puzzle which is solved only by lucky Googling doesn't seem like our puzzlemaster's style.
The puzzles to this point have been much better constru...

Not finding much for this one, either. So far, in this trail, our gut instincts have served us pretty well, so it seems the Tipperary route is the most likely.
While it would be a hard thing to make...

Hemmingway's (38 foot) boat was named "pilar".

Good solve!

On the next one, I think the "U" may be reference to "U-Boat", but the numbers aren't in the right range. They almost look like more c...
