Bear left at the fork in the road, turn left at the stop sign and left again at the first traffic light onto Central Street. Proceed down the hill into the parking lot. (There should be a big ship, that looks like a Battleship there... if it isn't there, either you are lost or the ship is.. probably you I bet.
