Take samples ashore and afloat on the Alliance.
Join our Museum Staff and the Crew of the Schooner Alliance as we experience life aboard ships and explore the underwater world of the Chesapeake Bay. Students will learn how to gather and analyze samples to research water quality, environmental conditions, and biodiversity on the pier of the Watermen’s museum. They will then repeat these tests aboard the Schooner as they sail on the York river. Students will develop and test their hypothesis and chart the gathered data.
