tour the ship this week in what turn-
ed out to be part early school year
field trip and part educational expe-
rience.
Starting Wednesday morning,
hundreds of students from Snow Hill
Middle and Berlin Intermediate be-
gan touring the majestic vessel. Na-
tional Air, Sea and Space Founda-
tion President Bryan Lilley, who also
produces the annual Ocean City Air
Show, worked with school officials
to make the tours possible.
"We love to be able to offer stu-
dents the opportunity to step back in
time and see what it must have
been like to sail the open ocean in
this ship," Lilley said this week. "Our
foundation was set up to help stu-
dents learn more about air, sea and
space, so this just made sense."
El Galeon Andalucia, a replica of
a 16th-Century Spanish galleon,
calls St. Augustine, Fla. its home
base on the Atlantic and was on a
return trip from New York City to a
stop in Puerto Rico. The foundation,
which promotes tours of the ship,
was looking for a pit stop along the
Atlantic to break up the trip from
New York to Puerto Rico and Lilley
approached Ocean City officials a-
bout a late-summer, 12-day stop in
the resort.
El Galeon came through the Inlet
last Wednesday morning amid
much fanfare and celebration and
then narrowly passed through the
Route 50 drawbridge to its berth a-
long the bulkhead between 3rd and
4th streets.
Through the last week or so,
thousands have toured the vessel,
which is open to public tours each
day from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Beginning
Wednesday, an estimated 457 local
students got a first-hand look at the
vessel inside and out and gained
valuable lessons about the history
of the ship and life at sea from crew
members, teachers and staff.
"We are grateful for the generosity
of this foundation to allow our stu-
dents to experience this amazing
ship," said Worcester County Schools
Coordinator of Instruction Joshua Fra-
del. "Just seeing it from the outside is
one thing, but being able to explore it
inside and learn about how crews sur-
vived the high seas for months at a
time is a special treat."
Fradel said the logistics of getting
457 students from Berlin, Snow Hill
and Pocomoke schools in and out of
Ocean City to tour the ship on the
third and fourth day of the school
year presented challenges, but it
was worth the effort.
"We are so happy we were able
to pull it off this quickly in the school
year, but we recognized the educa-
tional component of such a visit," he
said.
