Stations on the Tour of Pride of Baltimore II
At the sail raising station in the bow, students raise (and lower) a staysail, one of Pride II's eleven sails. Amid a lot of "Heave-ing" and "Ho-ing", they learn that they have to work together as a team to get the tough job done. At the amidships station, they learn about the work of a sailor. They handle many of the tools the crew uses on a daily basis, such as a sewing "palm," a caulker's hammer, and a block-and-tackle. At the navigation station in the stern, they learn to find north with the ship's compass, discover the difference between a chart and a map, and learn some nautical terms, like port and starboard. They may even take the helm to see what it's like to steer the ship.
The fourth station is below deck where students see the ship's sophisticated electronic navigation equipment, visit the galley and dining area in the main salon, and see where sailors sleep.		At the conclusion of their tour, students are given a "Share" of the booty of Pride II, like sailors aboard privateers of old. It's a wooden coin with the ship's logo and web address inscribed.
