This place is very neat to look around. You do not have to walk on any graves to get this cache. Captain Hook's Tomb (Admission is Free) Captain Isaac Newton Hook (1819-1906) who lived along the Muskingum, and who operated on it most of his career. Come and see this legend just north of Stockport . Captain Isaac Newton Hook (1819-1906) decided to design his own grave, according to legend, with a point on top so his wife wouldn’t dance on it. However, contrary to legend, a lady claiming to be one of Captain Hook's great granddaughters says the tomb was built with a rounded top so his wife could not dance on it, as the story goes. It did not have a point. There is a small platform on top where he had a boat sitting, to take him away in case of a flood. There was indeed a flood, which took the boat away. Whether or not he was in it, is anyone's guess. Location: Old Brick Cemetery in Stockport, OH 43787 off State Route 376 Cache is Igloo container in plastic see trough bag.
