Other features of Copley Square:
Trinity Church
The plaza in front of the church
The fountain
Tortoise and Hare sculpture
Boston Marathon Centennial Monument

It appears to be an open plaza near the John Hancock Hotel in Boston. An azimuth of 342 would send you approximately parallel with Dartmouth Street.

Sigh...did you read the thread? We've already come up with those, other than the time one. (And yes, the coordinates are the statue's location.)

Hmm...What happened at 5:48 AM on 12/7/1900? Anyone know? I don't.

And I understand reading 500+ posts does take a while. I think pages one and two have the coordinates mapped. (As a side note, they've also been placed in the Antarctic and in Greenland, and mapped on Mars.)
