  up Nancy in the Falkland Islands. The Falklands
  are closest to which important landmark to early
  sea explorers?

7
Q2 Answer A

• Just like this capes name, Im sure youre
  disappointed, too. John Meares felt the same way
  you do when he couldnt find the Northwest
  Passage, and this is how Cape Disappointment got
  its name.
• Try Again!

Q2 Answer B

• Sorry! The Cape of Good Hope is not close to the
  Falkland Islands. The closest island youll find
  near this cape is Madagascar.
• Try Again!

  sailing west from Europe had to go around Cape
  Horn at the tip of South America to make their
  way to the Pacific Ocean.

Question 3

• Nancy the Goat was picked up by Robert Gray on
  the sloop Washington. Which of the following
  ships to the right is a sloop?

11
Q3 Answer A

• You know your ships! Yes, a sloop is a vessel
  with only one mast. These were fast ships, but
  the problem was if the main mast broke, the ship
  couldnt sail at all.
• Hoist the sails and head toward the next question!

12
Q3 Answer B

• Sorry! This ship is a schooner. All schooners
  must have at least two masts, be fore-aft rigged
  bow to stern), and have a small triangular sail
  called a jib at the bow. Try again.

Masts
jib
bow
stern

  spices were not a product of the Northwest in the
  1700s.

  too much dried rice on the ships deck.
