Do or did whaling ships (or kind of other ships) visit?

 

What artifacts could we give to someone visiting from another place in the world? Why?

 

We are studying Laura Jernegan. In 1862 Laura was 6 years old, she left on on a whaling ship with her father and family. She kept a journal of her trip.

What would Laura have liked about your location?

 

 

Do children today like the same things as Laura?
