Marc brought in some photos and objects today to help us with our topic – Stories of the Sea.

Jenna – He told us about how his Great Great Grandad recovered wood from the wreck of the ship De Han, which sank off Lerwick around 1640. He recovered it in 1922 and someone his Granny knew made a candlestick and replica cannon from the wood.

Marc – It was African Kapok wood.

James – You can see the same cannon at the Shetland Hotel.

Peter – He brought in a plague with a diver on it.

Kealan – He brought in pictures of his Great Great Grandad with his diving suit on

Jenson – Once, when I went up to Unst I saw a beach filled with jelly fish. We got to see photos of the divers lifting up Prospect using inflatables. We also got to see photos of Marc sailing and the medals he has won.

Ella – I once saw an otter eating a squid. It must be hard being a diver

Chenet – We saw Marc’s Dad work hard to lift the boat up

Michael – I really liked the pictures of sea life

Jed – We saw photos of his Dad diving for Ocean Kinetics

Thank you Marc for bringing this in to show us!
