Going To The Maritime Museum


On Tuesday 27th of July Room 15,14, and 18 went to Maritime Museum. Our tour guide was Salty Sam. He was a gruff and grumpy old captain.He bellowed orders as he took us on a guided tour. We saw miniature ships and great big ships.

we saw miniature ships and great big ships.

On the second part of the tour we went in a replica of an immigrant ship‘s cabin, to see what it would have been like for immigrants coming to New Zealand on an Immigrant ship. There were
bunks in the cabin and there was one spot which smelt and Kobe, Darius and Gabriel were
sitting in it. Yuck!

Our 2nd slot was called Aramoana and our guide was Judy. She took us to watch a movie
about Polynesians coming to New Zealand. The movie was in a circular room that had
three massive screens and hard wooden forms . Mrs Squires snuck in through the door just
in time . And that's the end of this story
