The Cutty Sark is a British clipper ship. Built on the Clyde in
1869 for the Jock Willis shipping line, one of the last tea
clippers to be built and one of the fastest. This ship was built at
the end of a long period of design development that was
unfortunately halted as sailing ships gave way to ships driven by
steam propulsion. You see this ship used the power of the wind and
gathered the wind in its sails to further its journey, The Cutty
Sark was very badly damaged by fire on May 21, 2007 as it was under
restoration. It was re-opened to the public on April 25, 2012, much
to the delight of would be seafaring kids and adults. Take a look
at the Cutty Sark from below and above through the lens of John D.
Weigand. Practice reading skills through word recognition, word
repetition and rhyme as you learn some fun facts and then get to
work on some research of your own, The point of all these books by
Dyan and Weigand is to make kids not only learn, but also to learn
to think as well as to imagine. Award winning author, attorney and
former teacher, Penelope Dyan loves kids, loves to learn herself
and loves it when kids learn. There is a free music video that goes
along with this book on YouTube on the Bellissimavideo YouTube
channel to further enhance the learning process. The book is
dedicated to a true seafaring soul.
This is the story of a Morris Minor 1000 Saloon. The date of its
first registration was April 24, 1964, and its engine cylinder
capacity is 1,098. It is now classed as a historical vehicle. The
first owner was a Mr. Ernest Griffiths or Ernie as he was called,
who was my dad's brother. Sadly, Ernie died on March 28, 1982, and
Moggy was left in his will to his son, John Griffiths. Sadly, John
Griffiths died on October 19, 2005, and his wife, Teresa Griffiths,
left it in my care, giving it to me after John's funeral. This was
on a promise that I would look after it and keep it in the family.
John and his family nicknamed it Moggy, and from 1982 till 2005,
John and his wife used this car constantly. John's two girls, Ellen
and Leanne, cherished this car, knowing it was their father and
grandfather's car. Because of this, I really felt that I had a
strong responsibility to look after it. I will say no more as Moggy
wishes to tell the story of his life himself.
How Boats Work, is told in rhyme; it not only educates, but also
entertains anyone reading it, from the very young to the
young-at-heart. Arnold, the anchor, introduces the different parts
that make a boat work-- from the engine, to the electronics in the
pilot house, to the rudder and propeller beneath the boat. He gives
each a catchy name as he explains the jobs, and how important they
all are in working together to move the boat over the water. Penny
Talbot provided the rich colorful illustrations to accompany
Arnold's tale. Her many years of cruising, her love of the sea and
sea life, and her artistic talent combined to weave a magical look
and feel to the story as it unfolded.
