The six grade classes from the Eliza Simons Primary School came the museum today for a field trip.Aliatte Michel, the director of children's programing gave a guided tour of the Molasses Reef Wreck, which is the oldest ship to ever be discovered in the Western Hemisphere.
The kids were able to see some artifacts on exhibit that can only be seen in a few places in the world. They were able to appreciate how important the collections are in their own museum. Here, the kids are looking at a model of a maritime archaeological dive site. This part of the exhibit explains how artifacts are recovered from a wreck which is 60 feet under water. Most of them were glad they did not have to dive down into the water that far!
