I See Lonely Ships Upon A City Map

Some people's path makes a figure 8 and some people's path makes a skeleton pointing finger. Mine makes a ship.

I gave up following that foot print in CP. I am going with my gut instinct and the massive amount of research I have done. The reason why this puzzle is so perplexing is because the Captain does not follow a straight an narrow path so to speak.
For Example: in episode one clue #1 starts in CP and then clue #2 goes into lower Manhattan and the clue # 3 goes back into CP and then clue # 4 goes into Queens. That is just an example. What I have gotten so far is a path that looks like a ship.

Hope To Start Working On This Again
Larry's King is also my King, and King of The Larrys was my King at one time.

Hope to start working on this soon. Been thinking about this every now and then. My life has been filled with lots of sick relatives for the past 2 years. My Aunt who has been very ill for 8 months with cancer passed away last month and she had helped me a bit. I am going to load up and greens & vitamins because my odds are not looking too good.

Anyway there are strong clues in this puzzle leading to all sorts of things such as Columbia aka Columbus aka the Lady of Freedom aka the symbol of the New World-The US, aka a major television network all of these are in the puzzle. There are strong clues leading to men of the pen and all sorts of people of the arts. New York City and New York State are also strong in the episode clues. What I am wondering is if the final local incorporates all these clues or what?? Not sure of that but, if it does then that would make some sort of sense as to why every Episode has most of these repeated clues. I even have a location in mind if this is so, but I still need to get to the my area and take pictures. You can't find all you need to on line.

I know without a doubt where most of Episode #3 is. (All I could says is this whole Episode is my 6 degrees of separation). Again the Captain is not following a straight and narrow path but zig zagging. No one has posted it on here nor Tweleve. I know without a doubt where Episode #5 starts. I have to get to the area and take photos because most of it is not on the internet. Hope I am able to get there soon.
With the way my life is going one of you will probably figure this out.

Took pictures of location Eps #5 & 6 because they were hard as hell to find on line. There were only a few glimpses. So, I now know without a doubt where these are. A lot of really nice accomodating people here.

Just wondering if Eps #7 & 8 start far away from #5 & 6 just like my Ep #3 did from #1 & 2. Most important I just hope I could find all of this on line without having to treck all the way to the locations even though my family & I had a great time.

Just wish I had a lot of time to work on this. Sad

Paths

We'll I know the paths. Episodes 5, 6, 7 are mostly concentrated. Boy am I looking at things in a different light now. Thank God I took a visit there a few weeks back. Episode #8 does the same thing that the first 3 Episodes do in that they are all over the place. I have a pretty good idea on what the birdies is (pretty damn sure since every episode does give various clues to our birdie.) I'm trying right now to fine tune episode #8. What I have discovered is that what I had orginally thought was the crow's nest months ago, most likely is the crow's nest. I doubted myself which I should not have done.
So now I have to just narrow down the path and try to figure out the one big thing that is the clue to where the exact spot the chest is. I know what to do but, I'm having a damn hard time with that.

Re Thinking My Birdie

Roper's post along with that one thing we need to find the exact location of the chest has me rethinking which birdie's path we need to find. There are only 2 birdies I could think of. Both of them actually seem like an option. They match up to a lot of the clues which is why this is perplexing. I am pretty sure of the main path that all the pirates take but, the birdie's path has me baffled at this point. So many things point to so many areas and each birdie. AGGGGHHH!!!

Birdie

Discovered somethings that are really interesting. This may explain why no one can find the treasure.

The birdie that I have thought at first was the birdie is not. It is the second one.
It seems that there are 2 paths we have to follow and of course one is the birdie, and one is also all of the characters.
The reason why I say this is because one of the very first clues given to the path in the first episode is not just in Central Park but, has to do with my little birdie's path and it's history.

If I remember correctly someone had posted in the really long thread that the clues might be 'double down'. I think I had thought so also but, gave that idea up. We'll now I'm not so sure we should have given that idea up.

This might very well explain why we are having a hay of a time. Also keep in mind we were given only 4 instructions, not 5. Everyone is adding the 5th.

Bird's Path & Ship

Pretty sure I got the birdie's path and ship. That is one interesting ship. Wow! I am getting some education. It is all making some sort of sense now. However, still have to figure out the one thing we need to find the actual spot of the chest. That just might take me another year. Rolling Eyes

Hey Capn, just wanted to say good luck. I had long given up, but very interested to hear your analysis when you do find it Smile

You're doing great!

Awe ,thank you.
Don't give up. I'm convinced so far that there are two paths from what I have discovered a few days ago. One thing I have learned from this puzzle is that you have to be able to change your mind and not get stuck on one thing.

My husband is giving me one more year then I have to call this quits. LOL! This has to be the hardest damn thing I have done in my life. Giving birth to children was easier. My brain is getting some work out. I figure that if I can get at least half way there then that is a good thing. A big score for dyslexics.

Manhattan - Queens - Brooklyn - Staten Island - Bronx
No wonder we all are all over the place

Wonder why we are in different boroughs of the 'City' ? We'll I discovered last night that apprently the 3 different main things we are suppose to be looking for are most likely in different boroughs.

I will tell you they are all most likely connected via that complete path you must follow first in Central Park. They all have commonalities. If you did not do this then you have to go back to CP unfortunately and do it. Why?, because I believe that birdie in CP is a main clue. Everything is connected in this puzzle.

I found a very strong connection to one of these 3 things in one of the boroughs via old history maps. What is interesting just like the path you must follow in CP you must also follow it in this area via those old maps. What is even more interesting is that those 3 main things are also in these old maps. I'm wondering if they are in all three?? Not sure.

Also change your mind on what you think these 3 main things may look like. The image of what you have in your head for these 3 things are most likely not what the actually 3 physical things might be..

episode 3

Can anyone explain episode 3 between 2:00 minutes and 2:23? Mind the gap in your face is a ref to the subway I suppose. But the port of cortland? 4 docks, 5 docks? What do these clues mean. I believe episodes 1 and 2 have been mastered but 3 has not. There are still questions left unanswered. I believe well only be able to move forward until we master episode 3. Im having trouble believing the treasure is at union square.

Do you ever post any information in your posts or all of them just ambiguous ramblings?

I like vague. It helped me a lot. Besides no one listens to me anyway.

Forget the darn subway in this puzzle. It is non-existent. Listen to the words. If you have not completed the path in Central Park then you will not get the puzzle. Listen to the words and complete that path. Do not follow anyone who has posted on this site where they think episode #3 is. Look up the words used in port of cortland and what that means. I am not going to post it because I put so much work into this and it really is not hard to follow. Yes, it takes awhile to click in one's head but, you should not have a hard time getting it.

Gap: Break or opening in something continous, such as a hedge, wall or between hills. Unfilled space or interval. Something lacking.
Face: Front part of head. front part of facade or something like a clock.
