Captain Smith [15] [Temporary Gallery]

⁠

We set off from Denmark to Berwick. We need to go over the horizon line soon. It has taken us two days to get over. Captain Smith got some sad news. We are bringing somebody back in a coffin so when we got to Berwick Captain Smith blasted the ship’s horn to tell the people we were stopping. The Navy lower their flag on the boat. So we did the proper military thing for people who died. People were asking if it was their family member but Captain Smith didn’t know. The sea was very rough I felt so sick. All that I could think about was my little model of the coble boat that my Grandpa had made for me to take away to sea many years ago. Captain Smith gave the command to get the boat ready to go so the engine started and we closed up the doors and we went back to Denmark. The sickness soon went away.
