Why boats float
At the Harbour Yard, Master Rowan drops a stone and a wooden bowl into a tub. The stone sinks, the bowl floats. Why?
Shape and load
Maya's clay boat sinks in the tub. Help her shape it, load it, and test it the safe way.
Parts of a ship
The new ship is still a pile of timber. Learn each part's job before the apprentices start work.
Building and sealing a hull
A small wooden boat is begun at the yard. Put the stages in the order the shipwrights follow.
Finding the way and trading
The ship Wavecatcher carries pottery to a far port. Make three choices to bring her there well.
Sea safety and caring for the sea
Apprentice Tomas wrote a harbour checklist before a boat trip, but some lines are unsafe or harm the sea.
- Weavers — From thread to cloth: patterns, looms and clothing for everyone.
- Smiths — Turn raw materials into powerful tools.
- Carpenters — Shape wood into homes, bridges and furniture.
- Potters — Clay, fire and the first containers of civilisation.
- Farmers — Seeds, seasons and the food that feeds the world.
- Glassmakers — Sand and heat become windows, lenses and lab glass.
- Shipbuilders — Build vessels that carry people and goods across seas.
- Watchmakers — Tiny gears, springs and the art of measuring time.
The guild stories are invented, to learn from. Fire, heat, blades and tools are only for trained adults: learn these crafts with a trained adult, never at home. Nothing about you is collected; progress stays on this device.
