This short film is part of the docuseries SHIPS (Ships, History, Influence, and Power Series) by the Steamship Historical Society and thanks to a generous contribution from Ted Scull. You can view the longer oral history from Ted at youtube.com/watch?v=nBO-y-m5-ko&ab_channel=ShipHistory.
This short will be used to supplement a lesson on wind for Earth Science for grades K-4 with adaptations for grades 5-8. This first-person narrative will provide a real-world experience to illustrate the concepts learned through this Next Generation Science Standards-aligned lesson plan. Learn about what it was like to be a passenger and travel through a storm at sea. Ted describes his experience traveling from Le Havre, France to New York in August of 1958 on board the French Line's SS Flandre. All lessons are free of charge. View the lesson Wind and Its Impact on Ships at shiphistory.org/2022/06/22/wind-and-its-impact-on-ships/.
