“Avast ye, mateys!” You hear your captain’s voice thundering. It’s his way of saying, “Listen up!”
It’s hundreds of years ago, and you’re aboard a British ship sailing the Caribbean Sea. Someone must have spotted an island, or maybe another ship. Is it an explorer, a merchant, or a pirate?
As far back as 4000 BCE, the Caribbean has drawn sailors from other places. They all searched for riches or a place to call home. Some were fierce and some were peaceful. All were curious as to what wonders they would find. If you’d been on that ship, what might you have found?
