Monday, October 6, 2008Hello from the Henry Bigelow
I made it to Newport and am writing this from the ship. It was an int
Remember its' Columbus Day next Monday and we are going to spend some time on this cruise comparing this ship to the one Columbus was on. I stopped off to see an old Square Rigger Sailing Ship run by the Coast Guard. It is called the Eagle and it is based in New London, Connecticut. Here is what the bridge of the Eagle looks like. Now here is a view of the bridge of NOAA Ship HENRY B. BIGELOW. ![]() --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Newport is also famous for mansions an beautiful sea coast. Here are a few photos of the mansions. Thank you to Harle Tinney and her wonderful staff at Belcourt Castle for letting me take photos of the inside for you. She told me something else about the Castle. The weather vane at the top of the castle was marked on the maps sea captains used back in the old-days. From that weather vane, they could calculate their position and avoid crashing on the rocks nearby. See you tomorrow. Response to your questions and comments: Thanks to all for your good wishes. MAB – I will tell you all about what we catch. OG, we are not permitted on deck while work is going on unless we have a life jacket. Everyone here cares about safety. CB, the ship holds about 36 peop Hello to Miss. William's Class: I am very excited to be going to sea again. I love it. I'll be back in two weeks, but while I'm away, I'll tell you all about what we catch and what we do while I am out. Oh, and to everyone who asked, If I get sick, I'll tell you that too! I promise! Thanks for writing. J from TZE, I'll show you about the cups in a few days. We are going to do an experiment with them. Keep watching!! MH you asked a lot of great questions. Thanks for writing. I'll try to answer all of them over the next few days. As for where I've been. Well, I spent the last two voyages in Alaska, so this will be very different. And much warmer. Oh, and I did bring a few things to read. Most of them are on my computer to save space. There are a few books. Keep watching the blog and keep writing! I'll respond to your comments as best I can either personally or in the text of the blog now and in the days ahead. Remember, students should just use their initials when commenting.
Comments:
This is just a good voyage wish from your brother David in California. Did you bring any music to listen to on the trip? I wouldn't be able to last two weeks without music.

We saw some of the pictures. The new types of ships look a lot better. The new shps have navigational systems and more electronical systems than they did before. AS
Dear Mr T.,
we just learn that Egal ship and Henri A.Bigelow. Are you going to take submaries to take the fish from the bottom of the sea? How are you going to celbrate Columbus Day when you are on a ship? Talk to you soon, SS
Dear Mr.T,
After seein the pictures of the Eagle and the Bigelow, which you are on, I can see many differences such as the Bigelow has a different wheel then the Eagle also they both have ther own speshal tech
dear mr t, the ship you are on know has a million gagets unlike the eagle back then like Columbas you'st to have to ride. one different is you use a GPS system instead of looking and following the north star and dipending on the it to be there every night to guide you. It most be lots of to take the tempoter ton a boowey. have lots of fun at sea!!!!
JL
Dear mr.t the diforence betwean the Eagle & the Bigalow is that the Bigalow has more high tech objects. The simaleraties are they both have stearing weels.
bv
Dear Mr.T the Eagle looks vey hard to steer and find out were you are but the Henry A. Bigelow looks like it is so easy to steer and navigate that I probably can steer this ship
SZ
dear, mr.t
how is your adventure at sea? i heard that you visited the Eagle that an old fashoion ship that Christopher Columbus used that ship when he went to explor America. but thank god that you are on the Henry A. bigelow. Because they had the worst technolegy. Anywho the Henry A. Bigelow is really cool and I bet that it is really big. And your technicnick than the Egale. I like the experiments that you are using. i got to go bye good luck from ,Mt
I learned that you are experimenting water tepiture and curecures at the bottm of the sea your ship has a lot of more equetment then the eagle have a nice trip
Dear Mr.T
Were are you right now? I would like to read your book about the fish at the botom of the sea. These are some diffrent things about the ships they have diffrent tecnolagys. mm
DearMs.T are you at the old ship Egle you are right
I'm really sorry that i have to go right now. Class is over. I'll talk to you soon. KL
what was yourfirst fish you found. what kind of fish is it.how are you.what is the temprature.how many fish did you find.what kind of gps are you using .
Hey Mr.T.
Its GS from cottage lane.I hope your having a great time on the ship.I hope you can find the creture that as a light on its head.Here is a question.How are you going to find the cretures at the bottom of the sea???I wish I could come on a ship like yours.Ive never been on a ship. Ive been on a boat but not a ship.I learned that a ship that is old like alot of years ago is very different then a ship today.Also where in the atlantic ocean are you right now????The eagle looked very different then the Henry bigelow.The ship you are on was SO hightech!!!Its aweosme!Well have a nice trip!! GS
Dear Mr.T,
When You Come Back To Cottage lane, Can you Tell Us The Names Of The Fish You Found? In Class, We Talked About Low Tech And High Tech Things About The Henry A.Bigelow And The Eagle. And Also The Similar Things About The Ships. AL
J.T.
How is you trip. Your ship the Henry B. Bigelow is much more technical than The Eagle. The Eagle neede wind for its sails the Bigelow has an engine. A.T.
Dear Mr. Tanenbaum,
We are having fun! We are learning about Henry B. Hudson and the Eagle.We also said what is different about them and the same about them.I hope you have a great trip.
Hi Mr.T,
How is your trip? I think some of the diffrences with the ships are the Henry B. Biglow and the Eagle is that the Henry.B Bigelow uses an motor (engine) and the Eagle uses wind. Also the Henry B. Bigelow uses more tecnolgy than the Eagle uses NO tecnogly!! Have you done any exparements yet? Have a great trip!!!! -TJF
dear J.T.
we talked about the cloumbous boat and the Hery B. Bigelow there were differents your boat has G.P.S.and long time ago they did not. a simalarity is they both flote and have weels. D.K.
Mr.T
We are talking about the differences between the Henry B.Biugelow and the Eagle.Some of the differences are that the Henry B. Bigelow has a lot more technology than the Eagle.Another difference is that the Henry B. Bigelow has a big steering wheel and the Eagle has a big steering wheel. Some of the similaritys are that they both have steering whhels. Another is that they both have a crew. Have a nice trip bye. S.I.G
I hope you'r having a great time at sea.Are you doing any awasome experaments.We all learned about the Eagle and the quadrent. We miss you.
Dear Mr.T Today. We Figured out the differntes between Henry Bielow and the Eagle.Hope you have a grate time.
From AJS
Hi Mr.T
We are having fun! We were seeing the pictures of the Eagle and the Henry B. Bigelow and compared how they where the same and differnt. One difference is that the Henry Bigelow goes with a Gps and the Eagle goes with the sun and stars. Hope you have fun! KG
Dear Mr.T,
Today in computer so called technolagy, we looked at two different ships that you have been on. The Eagle and the Henry B. Bigelow. Some things that are different about them is that the eagle has a really big steering wheel and the Henry B. Bigelow has just a simple steering wheel, also the Henry B.Bigelow has technolagy while they Eagle doesn't, one more diffrence is that the Henry B.Bigelow has engines and the Eagle uses sails. Now how they are alike. They are alike because they both have steering wheels, also they are both big well i got to go! Also did you find any more creatures or fish at the bottom of the sea? RRL bye Mr.T
Dear J T
Tday in class I we talked about the boat that Columbus was on and the Henry B. Bigelow. We commard the two boats and I wanted to share some simiatares and differentes. One of the differents is that the steering wheel are very different. The sterring wheel on your boat is very small next to the one on the one Coulbuses boat. One of the simiarltes is that they both float. Have a good time on your trip. from, S.K
Hi Mr.T
We are having fun! We were seeing the pictures of the Eagle and the Henry Bigalow and there diffrences and simalarities. One of there similarities is that they both have steering weels.One of there diffrences is that the henry bigalo goes with the sun and stars but the gps.I hope you have a great time.
Dear Mr,T Today we were thinking of diffrenses and similaritys of the Henry B. Bigelou and the Eagle some of them wher.The Eagle has a huge stering well and the Bigelou has a small stering well.
From TPS
Dear Mr.T,
Today we did a couple of experiments.We were talking about the differences between the boat you are on wich is Henry B. Bigelow and the boat Eagle.The diferences between them was that the Henry B. Gigelow has technolagy to steer it and the Eagle has a wooden wheel.Also the Eagle uses sails to move with the wind.And the Henry B. Bigelow uses an engine.i am sorry i have to go now bye.And by the way it was our class that was talking to you.BYE! bye have a nice time on the ship.S.N.G
dear mr t
today we are writing similarities about the eagle and the henrey b bigelow. the similarities are they both need food and water. the oppisits are that the henry b bigelowuses tecnoligy and the eagle runs on wind.
hi Mr.T
we learned about about the Henry B.bigelow and the Eagle.We compared both of them. How are the experiments? What kind of animals will you find? Can't wait to hear your stories.
Dear Mr.T,
Are you having a nice time?we learned about the Henry B.Bigelow and the Eagle. The early explorers depended on the sun and stars. On your ship you have GPS system to help you.
Dear Mr.T
Hi Mr.T have you caught any fish yet? Did you caught a realy big fish like sharks and stuff? NM
Dear,Mr.T in class we learned about the Henry B. Bigelow and the Eagle.Your ship has technology and the Eagle depends on the sun and stars.How are your experiments going?.
Dear Mr.T,
We learned about what you are going to be doing on your ship.The Eagle and the Henry B. Bigelow are the same because they both are big and they also both have a crew to help them out.They are both opposite because on one you have to look at the stars and the athor one has a gps. Hope you have a good time. SPL
Dear Mr.T
today we talked about the Henry Bigelow and the Eagle I wish you luck and I can't wait to see you bye from A.G.
Dear Mr t we learned about the eagle and the Henry B.Bigelow. The differences are your boat is more hectic then the Eagle and you use better tracking devices then the eagle. we learned you are in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.Bye. from SD
J.T.

You are doing a fine job bringing science to life in your classroom via the internet and other resources.
Your trip is a great reminder that we can learn and have fun at the same time. Wishing you the best, Guy D.
dear mr.tanenbaum,
I can not beleave that you were holding up a real shark! I think that that is very amazing. Were you scarde? If that was me i would be freaking out.As long as you are safe on the ship, then you would be fine.H ow is the weather there ? here in new york the weather fills cold in the morning but then it gets warmer. Does the ship smell a lot because there are a lot of fish? When ever i would walk my a fish market it would smell very bad.Do you get cold when you are sleepingon the ship? I know that i would be cold if i was on the ship. I hope that you have fun, and be safe. NW
DEAR MR.T
Post a Comment
i hope that you would catch more and more sharks in the water so that you can tell us how that experience was.Remember to be safe out there. AW << Home
