The Maritime Museum

“I wish we could go on the boat now” I said to my friend Te Rina, as we entered the Maritime Museum. Room 15,14 and 18 went to the Maritime Museum . We went there because our topic was all about Mighty Mariners and we wanted to see how it’s like to go on a ship, But the only thing I was excited about was the boat.

A man named David toke us to a door were we met a man named Salty Sam. We relies he was a gruff and grumpy old man. Our first activity was with gruff and grumpy captain Salty Sam. He gave us a guided tour around the Museum, bellowing orders as we went. “Don’t talk, Don’t talk when I am talking and don’t volenter for anything unless you know what you are getting yourself into”. Richard open the door for everyone to go inside.

“This ship has a flat bottem ship as you can see” grumpy Salty Sam said to us. “All aboard” he told us. ” Were going to have a steering test”. We went on board the ship and 1 by 1 we all sat down.”Wrong, 100% wrong” he shouted at us. I was a bit confussed because every one was sitting down but Salty Sam said it was wrong. Half way throw the line he stopped everyone and told us the right way. We all failed abysmally but no one knew that.

“Up,down,up,down” I heard someone saying. I didn’t no why they said that.”Come inside her. What do you think this room is for?” Captain Salty Sam said. I was thinking really hard then I relised it was a cabin under a ship. Salty Sam told us the anserw and I got it right. I looked striaht ahead , and I saw the floor going up,down,up ,down.

“Where are we going now” I said to my friend Litia. She said “ I think were going to watch a movie.” We entered a room were it had 3 massive screens. I went to sit down in the wooden seats. I started to talk to my friends until the screen went all pitch black. I looked at the back and I saw the doors closing . “Woosh” went Mrs Squires as she snuck in time. I then relised that the doors were automatic doors.

“About time” I said inside my head. The movie was starting. It looked like they were having a fair well party. They all dance and sang. The people were papering the waka for them to go on them. They sailed off to sea with a pig and a chicken.The whales,stars,birds and the sun helped them to navigate to the place they wanted to go there.

After that we went to have lunch and then we found out we were going on the ferry. I wanted to go on the boat more. We all walked to the ferry. It was sort of a long way to walk. When we hopped in the ferry it felt better that going on the Ted Ashby. Suddenly we had to move and move. Finally we found a spot and stopped at the top. It was windy and then it started to rain.


My favourite part was the ferry all though it was windy it kept blowing peoples hair. I wish we could there again. The ferry was my favourite part because I have never been in one until now.
