so-soThis was mostly good. There were a few parts that got bogged down in detail explaining the technology or what was working (or not) that was, at times, a bit too much for me. It was a slow read, but overall, I liked it. It was unfortunate that others “raided” the site. Ballard had hoped that everything would remain there in its own graveyard, but of course, that didn‘t happen. Cont in comments...
so-soI really liked the first part where we were following the story in real time. I lost some interest in the descriptions of what other people thought happened in the following 50 years.
pickLively YA story of young girl who deals with a lot of troubles on a ship from England to the US in early 1800s I think. A good tale with a strong heroine. A little hard to believe though.
“But the crew keeps the lightship anchored. She holds her one sure spot.“
I would not use this book in my classroom. I did not like it and was not entertained by it.
panThis is a nonfiction book as it teaches the readers about lightships which are floating beacons for ships to follow. It was not very entertaining to me while reading it.
Started a YA book I haven‘t read before.
