The Directions of a Ship
When we are aboard a ship, we should first know how to tell directions on a ship. They have special names. The front is called the "bow" and the back is called the "stern". The left and right sides are called the "port side" and "starboard side" respectively.

Sails
On the ship Huan, there are three masts and each has a sail. The main mast is 20 meters high and the sail weighs one ton. It takes at least 40 children to pull up the main sail.

Ladders
There are two rope ladders on the two sides of the Huan. After swimming, children can climb up the rope ladders to get back onto the ship.

Bow
At the bow, there is an anchor which is used to moor the ship to the seabed. As it is very heavy, children help to put down and pull up the anchor.

Water Supply
The water supply comes from a water tank and is pumped into a large water bucket on the main deck. Children use it to wash themselves after swimming, wash dishes and also to clean the deck.

Activities on the main deck
Most of the activities take place on the main deck of the ship Huan. There are command tasks like climbing over the sail and trapeze (hold on to a bar, swing out and jump into the sea). Children also have their meals on the main deck and even sleep there when the weather is good.
