I am fascinated with the ocean and things that are involved with it. The ocean is so breathtaking! I have swam in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic ocean. As you can tell I love to travel.
One thing I find interesting about the ocean and/or sea are the ships that sail it. I love looking at pictures of old ships. Pirate ships are especially cool. One ship in particular I enjoy researching is the Whydah Gally. The Whydah had once been a slave ship until it was captured by the pirate Samuel Bellamy. (The picture is not the Whydah.) The pirate only captained the ship for a short while. Samuel and his crew were caught in a storm and the ship sunk. Barry Clifford knew the story of Samuel and he started the Whydah Expedition. He found the sunken ship too! It was the first pirate ship in the world to be excavated.
I also like lighthouses. It goes with the theme of pirate ships and oceans. I have never been to a lighthouse, but one day I hope to go to one and be able to go inside. I think that would be very neat. I read a book called Vampirates by Justin Somper. At the beginning the main characters live in a lighthouse. Wouldn't that be cool to live in a lighthouse?
