Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven Ships Hints

Where is this?

  • 1 of 3: As you noted from your work atop Bat Steep --
  • 2 of 3: -- Halfmoon Reef is directly southwest of Dread Isle, despite what it says in El Toro's book.
  • 3 of 3: So sail down and to the left around the bottom of Dread Isle, keeping your eyes peeled for a spot where you start to see brown clumps under the surface of the water. Halfmoon Reef is a small pile of brown lumpy rocks in a roughly C shape, or maybe it looks like a seahorse. Sail into the rocks to set Nancy up for some diving.
