Description: Do you think that the sea influences your life on a daily basis?  If you answered “no,” you are in for a surprise! Join The Mariners’ Museum as we explore the importance of the maritime world in your life. From the first Thanksgiving to the most recent hurricane, from pirates to lighthouses–and so much more–you’ll discover why it is a maritime world after all.  Classes include:

• “Hurricanes” and “Tsunamis” (Grades 6 – 12)
• “Buoyancy” and “Pirates” (Grades 3 – 5)
• “Sailing into Thanksgiving” and “Lighthouse Lore” (Grades K – 2)
