We were thrilled to discover that there were two survey marks on the property of the Bagaduce Lunch. We had wanted to try the famous haddock sandwich anyway, and having survey marks so close by made this a necessary stop. The haddock sandwich (and onion rings and lobster roll) were delicious, and we found both marks quite easily. WO 33 is set into a large rock outcrop in the picnic area just west of the lunch stand. It is in very good condition with all stamping clearly legible.
