Field Trips
Passage to the Mother Lode
 Grades 4-5
Eighteen hours, $2750 for up to 45 participants
The year is 1849 and the world is abuzz with talk of gold in California! Off to make their
fortunes, students will attempt to find a sailing vessel that will take them to San Francisco by way of Cape Horn.
Wandering the docks of Boston, fortune hunters are approached by a man calling himself an agent for a shipping
company. Is this man a "crimp" who will convince students to sign aboard ship as crew in exchange for passage?
In addition to learning valuable skills such as rowing, handling lines and gold-panning, students must decide their fate
once they reach California's gold coast.
