Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven Ships Hints
Egg 1
1 of 5: There's a clue to finding its location in those bottles you've been running into when you go sailing.
2 of 5: If you find all nine bottles, the pieces of paper inside form a quote from Edgar Allen Poe's poem, "The Raven." The important part is the words and letters in red.
3 of 5: The letters in red spell out, "Deep in sand before the sharks seek this," and there's a drawing of what looks like a guava. Hmm.
4 of 5: It's not real clear, but what it refers to is the one place in the game where you've seen sharks: the wreck of the Caridad.
5 of 5: After you've found all nine bottles, go diving again at the wreck of the Caridad. Go to the far right past the wrecks, to the point where Nancy talks about sharks, then go up to a sandy area and use the metal detector to find the egg.
