ADDITIONAL OPTIONS

Student Textbook

Purchase a copy of ‘Oscar I Am; Harry I Was!?” and have it waiting for you when you arrive. Published by Patriots Point Institute of History, Science & Technology. This two-part book supports our onsite education programs, and features “Oscar,” an oxygen atom and “Harry,” a Civil War veteran. In Part I, Oscar tells a Science story about his trip through South Carolina’s watershed. Part II features a series of letters written by Harry and his descendants, that takes the reader through historical events, from the Civil War to today.

Ship Shape Scavenger Hunts are a proven fun and adventurous activity that allow students to see even more of the ship’s sites. + Add a Scavenger Hunt for just $1 additional per student during registration online
