Drawings and Writings by our class about the Tall Ship "Californian"

Responses to the trip on the "Californian"

I really liked it when we hoisted up the sail. It was so so fun! I would love to go on the Californian again! It would be so cool if we could have stayed on the ship for a week. I wonder if living on the Californian would have been fun? I think I would have been homesick. But if we could have stayed near land, near by home. I wouldn’t have minded that much! Anyway, I loved the trip!~~SE
My favorite part was the cannon. It was worth the money because it was so fun! I loved it so much! Thanks a lot! ~~AD
What I liked about the Californian was putting the sails up. The ship was so much fun!~~SW
The money for the Californian was well spent because it’s a big boat and we sailed fan and we learned a lot. My favorite part was hoisting up the sails. My other favorite part was the cannon. I liked the cannon because it was cool. I’m glad we went on this trip!~~GL

The "Californian"

On December 10th, our class went on the tallship Californian. It was a lot of fun!
When we got on the boat, we got to meet the captain and first mate. As we set sail, we split up into three groups and learned some more about the ship. After we got out of the harbor, we got to raise the sails. I thought that was really fun! As we sailed under the Coronado Bridge, we got to fire the cannon! It was very loud! After we fired the cannon, we split back up into our groups and learned more. Later we sang some sea chanteys.
When we got off the ship we went to the park and had lunch. That was fun, too. I think all of the classes had fun, too!~~EM

The "Californian"
Our Class studied about the "Californian". Mrs. Barrick has given us a coastal Log which tells about legends, famous pirates, the people that discovered this state, and the first Californians.
Some students didn’t know how we got the name "California" for our state. Our coastal logs tells all about how we go the name California. This legend is about the queen named Queen Califia. She was a very strong and beautiful Amazon. She was the best of every Amazon that had filled her throne before her.
There are two famous pirates. One was named Sir Frances Drake who went around the world. The other was Richard Henry Dana who went to sea. He talked about his voyage in a book called "Two Years Before the Mast."~~GF
