Curriculum GuideShipwrecks make fascinating stories. The discovery of a shipwreck is an exciting event. After the initial excitement of the find, the study of a shipwreck by maritime archaeologists reveals important information about maritime life and trade. The study of two shipwrecks featured in this guide, the Rockaway and Hennepin, reveal much about Great Lakes history. This guide contains two main lessons: one on technology used in Great Lakes shipping and one on using primary sources to learn about history. A glossary, shipping timeline, parts of a ship identification, and information sheets on Great Lakes vessels complete the guide. Download the Curriculum GuideIndividual Lessons:
