Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven Ships Hints
How do I open the bin in the shed?
1 of 6: First, obviously, you need to have opened the shed.
2 of 6: Do you see the colored trapezoids on the top of the bin? Have you seen these before somewhere?
3 of 6: Go back inside in the lobby and look at the flag chart above the display table.
4 of 6: On the far left and right of the chart, you will see the same trapezoid-shaped flags that you saw on the sail bin. These flags have numbers next to them.
5 of 6: That has to be the combination to the lock. The flags translate to --
6 of 6: -- 79204. Set the combination like that, and the bin opens to reveal sails for the little sailing boat off the dock.
