Sea Sunday

Introduction

We all need seafarers. If we didn't have them, we wouldn't have all the things we have now.

This is a pair of bananas

The bananas come from the Windward Islands so who transports them across the sea? Seafarers do! Who else?

Who likes bananas?

This is a rubber duck

• Who likes to play with rubber ducks?

• The rubber duck comes from the Far East. How does it get to Britain? In a boat with seafarers!

On the table is a tea bag.

• It's a bit faint, though.

• Tea comes from India. So, who gets it over the ocean? Yes, you guessed it, Seafarers!

This is can of Fiery Ginger Beer

• Hot!

• The ginger is from Jamaica and of course, Seafarers take it to Britain.

I say, I say, I say, My wife went to theWest IndiesJamaica?No! She wanted to go!

What sort of sailor rules Egypt?

A Seafare-o (Sea pharaoh, get it?)

Port of Felixstowe

I went to the Port of Felixstowe We met Sister Marion at the Seafarers

Centre. The seafarers can relax there, play games,

read books, watch videos or phone home.

Port Police

We all had to get a pass from the port police

A Container Ship

Loading and Unloading

Land tugs take the containers to and from the cranes.

Computers control the cranes and tell the land tug drivers where to go.
