Summary: |
|||||||||
| Inspired by journals, maps, and letters from the Mystic Seaport Museum, the diary recounts the voyage of the family of a sea captain from Boston around Cape Horn to Hawaii from the son's point of view. Maps, a glossary, Author's Note, and an Afterword provide additional facts. | |||||||||
Teaching Ideas: |
|||||||||
| Comparing this book with Daniel Hall provides a contrast in sea voyages. The glossary encourages students to learn a "seagoing" vocabulary. Students could research other means of transportation available in 1860. Journal writing about a personal trip seems a natural extension to the book.
