|
Are your students interested in hauling on lines, handling trade replica artifacts, and learning navigation on the open water? Is hands-on learning important to you? The tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain return to California waters this fall. They are now schedulingone-hour and three-hour educational programsnear you.
Sacramento area educators! Hawaiian Chieftain arrives in your region September 22, four weeks earlier than usual, to accommodate huge demand. Don't miss out!
Each experience has three learning stations:
Life of a Sailor: Learn about the life and work of the common sailors back in the 18th century. Students handle sail lines, helping to raise and lower a sail, conditions permitting. See examples of authentic sailor food, tie basic knots, and learn the lingo of sailors.
Life of an Officer: Students experience the "high tech" tools and skills of navigating a replica 200-year-old sailing ship. Conditions permitting, they'll take the helm, perform traditional navigational calculations, and explore the lives of the captain and other officers.
Early Trade: Students are guided through a global trade cycle involving Spanish, American, Native American, Chinese and English cultures and economies. Students handle replicas of trade artifacts as they explore the business of the world economy.
Ports of Call, Fall 2014: Antioch, Half Moon Bay, Oakland, Long Beach, Morro Bay, Moss Landing, San Francisco.
