Stranded in uncharted waters, the crew of the Sea Hawk must work together to survive. The ship has been thrown off course by a storm, and now the crew must navigate treacherous seas, repair their damaged vessel, and find food and water before it’s too late. Will they discover new lands, or will the ocean claim them forever?
In Lost at Sea: The Voyage of the Sea Hawk, you’ll join the crew as a vital member of the team. You could be the navigator, guiding the ship with maps and compasses, or the ship’s carpenter, repairing sails and mending leaks. Maybe you’ll be part of the fishing team, catching food to sustain the crew. But beware—the seas are unpredictable, and danger lurks below the surface.
This hands-on adventure will test your problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity as you face the challenges of survival at sea. Join us and help steer the Sea Hawk to safety!
