An Exciting Voyage at WordFest!
Lots of new Ghosters joined the crew at Wordfest in Calgary this week. Excitement ran high as students and staff discovered how the Great Eastern was a ship like no other and that Ailish is a cabin boy like no other. Many are wondering what was the terrible mystery discovered when the ship was torn apart. I told them they will have to read the entire book to discover this secret.
Many students couldn't believe it when they saw a piece of the actual 1865 cable dredged up from the icy depths of the Atlantic Ocean. We all agreed it was a tenuous start for the World Wide Web.
All the crews from many schools attending decide that Ghost Messages was the book to read.
Some were already aboard and sailing across the Atlantic with Ailish, Davy and Paddy, not to mention ducking Rufus Dalton, before they came to the presentation which meant they already knew lots about life aboard the mighty ship laying the transatlantic cable.
This week, we are going to have a test of your Morse Code Skills.
Do you know the answer?
