An expedition to investigate an old sunken ship teaches Peggy lessons about herself.
When archaeologists discover a two-hundred-year-old shipwreck, Peggy Henderson decides she’ll do whatever it takes to take part in the expedition. But first she needs to convince her mom to let her go, and to pay for scuba diving lessons. To complicate matters even more, Peggy’s Great Aunt Beatrix comes to stay, and she’s bent on changing Peggy from a twelve-year-old adventure-seeking tomboy to a proper young lady. Help comes in the most unlikely of places when Peggy gets her hands on a copy of the captain’s log from the doomed ship, which holds the key to navigating stormy relationships.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A two hundred-year-old sunken ship is discovered off the northern tip of Vancouver Island and archaeologists are off to see if it's the three-sailed barque they've long looked for: Jacob Astor's fur trade ship, the Intrepid. Budding archaeologist Peggy Henderson manages to secure a place on this trip, but before she goes she must learn to scuba dive. Peggy's a good swimmer but diving isn't easy. She gains confidence by reading the captain's log book. His entries paint colourful pictures of the adventures and dangers of the fur trading sailor's life, and their often jarring relationship with First Nations people. It was the clash between these cultures which ultimately led to the sinking. Peggy relates to the problem of getting along with others who hold differing views as she tries to navigate her own salty kinship with her Great-aunt Beatrix. She soon discovers that respect, courage, and honesty go a long way in keeping not only ships afloat, but relation-ships too. A two-hundred-year-old sunken ship is discovered off the northern tip of Vancouver Island and budding archaeologist Peggy Henderson manages to secure a place on this archaeological expedition. The trip teachers her not only about history but about her own relationships. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
