Maritime Museum | Explorers & Adventures

LI: To study the history of New Zealand maritime explorers.

This week on the 12th of February LS1 went to the Maritime Museum to study the history of explorers of Aotearoa. When we arrived to the museum we met our instructors, Lee and Peter.

One group went to explore the museum and my group stayed in the classroom with Lee to get taught about maritime history. Lee taught us about many famous sailors like: Captain Cook, Sir Peter Blake, Abel Tasman, Kupe & Kuramārōtini.

After an hour the two groups switched. We then explored the museum with our smaller group. After another hour of exploring we got ready to leave the museum.

I enjoyed the trip because I learnt many new things about the maritime history of New Zealand. My favourite part of the trip was exploring the museum. It was a very fun and enjoyable trip.
