The Propeller
Club of the United States Adopt-A-Ship
Program
|
Introduction
This web site, a joint effort of The Propeller Club
of the United States and the Maritime Administration of
the U.S. Department of Transportation, supports the
teachers and ship crews that are participating in the
Adopt-A-Ship program of The Propeller Club. Each ship
involved in the program is adopted by a classroom each
school year. During the year, the class and the ship's
crew correspond and share experiences. The plan fosters
interests in geography, history, math, science,
transportation, foreign and domestic trade, and English.
It affords children an outlet for natural interests in
the sea and teaches them something of the steadfast
character of the men and women of the American Merchant
Marine. |
 |
The web site offers an opportunity for all of the teachers
and students (Grades 5-8) involved to share their experiences
with other schools and ships. Teachers are encouraged to share
their curricular activities through this site and assist other
teachers in enriching their curriculum.
