Field Trips
Before the Mast Overnight
 Grades 4-5
Eighteen hours, $2750 for up to 45 participants
Travel back in time to the seafaring world of Richard Henry Dana's Two Years Before the Mast. Students sign aboard as
greenhands for a two year "voyage" from Boston to Alta California in the 1830s. While immersed in early California
history and working with a variety of dynamic historical characters, students gain skills in cooperative learning,
teamwork, and communication as they hoist cargo, row long-boats, raise sails, stand night watch, swab the decks, and
sing chanteys.
