Seaport
has planned a trip to Gloucester on Nov. 18th. We are planning to
start at the State Fish Pier-take a tour and possibly go aboard
boats that are at the dock. From there we are planning to go to
the Heritage Center and have a guided tour. We will have a brown
bag lunch in there conference room. After that we will go down to
the Fisherman's Memorial. This will be part of a series of trips
we plan on making to Gloucester. We are talking about fish in the
classroom. Our History and English Teachers are participating in
preparing our students to go to Gloucester on Monday. In English
they will read the Howard Blackburn Story and in History,they are
talking about the History of Fishing in Gloucester. We are also
starting to pull our lobster traps at school, so we are hoping to
get some insight into the lobstering industry as well.
After Monday, we will pick 2 projects that we will study throughout
the year, using data provided by Tim & Beth MacDonald. I'll
let you know what those projects are.
We will be bringing a video camera and certainly we will take pictures
and provide you with the good photos.

Seaport Campus had a great time this past Monday (November 18) in
Gloucester. It was probably one of the windiest and coldest days
so far. However, our hosts, the MacDonald's, were great. We went
to the State Pier and saw many different kinds of fishing boats
and lobster boats. Since the weather was so bad, all the boats were
at the dock, so we were able to see everything.
From there, we went to The Heritage Center where we were greeted
by volunteers who work at the center. We were able to tour the center,
get a perspective on fishing, and saw the progress of the Adventure.
The other surprise for us was a collection of historical diving
equipment and explanations of their use both commerical and military,
even a Russian Diving Suit.
We then had lunch and finished our trip at the Fisherman's Memorial.
