  2. ‘Well, Mr Parry- and what kind of ship do you think this is? (Look very carefully at her flags and guns!)’ A fine sight! – a British Man-’0-war under full sail http://www.philaprintshop.com/images/admiralsvaisseau.jpg

  3. ‘You do, of course, know precisely what the bundles hanging below the decks are for?’ The crew sleep in hammocks, which you here see neatly stowed – shipshape and Liverpool fashion! http://www.stvincent.ac.uk/Heritage/Warrior/images/maindeck/hammocks.jpg

  4. ‘And whose cabin is this one, with its well made furniture and excellent views? Note the items on the table – we will look at them carefully!’ It is MY cabin – and I’ll thank you to treat it with due respect! http://www.geocities.com/cptblood_1999/captcabin.jpg

  5. ‘On the chart, there: precisely what does the symbol mean? You’ll be lost if you don’t know!’ Why – It shows me North of course! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/eb/Reinel_compass_rose.svg/250px-Reinel_compass_rose.svg.png

  6. ‘Yes, yes, Mr Parry – it is a sextant. The most valuable instrument on the ship. But tell me – what do I do with it?’ Looking through the sextant, we use sun and stars to find our position. http://www.takahashiamerica.com/catalog/images/Early-1800-sextant.jpg

  7. ‘ and now, pray explain to me, if you will, exactly what the star-shaped wheel is for - and what it is called?’ We raise or lower the anchors with the aid of the capstan – and all the crew! http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h291/MODELSHIPCONSTRUCTION/17Th%20Century%20Man-of-War/CAPSTAN.jpg

  8. ‘And what purpose do you think this serves, Mr Parry?’ This block lets us tighten or slacken off the rigging http:// google.com/images?q=tbn:QiN0OHTBVZQWTM:http://www.sethwhite.org/images/fram/rigging.jpg

  9. ‘You may very well know its name, but what is it for?’ The Fighting Top- like a bigger crow’s nest - allows us to fire on other ships from above http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/images/fighting-top-1.jpg

  10. ‘A ship very like our own – a merchantman. But from which country has it travelled? Look at the flag, man!’ The Gotheborg –a merchantman from Sweden

  11. ‘Well, Master Parry ‘You have much to learn. ‘But you seem willing: and provided you know when to listen, and when to hold your tongue, I dare say we will get along tolerably well. ‘Stow your belongings in your Cabin, now: we sail within the hour.’
