Students become sailors for an afternoon aboard an historic vessel when they are picked up as green hand sailors in 1906. As San Francisco is scrambling to rebuild itself following a devastating earthquake, the lads must scramble themselves in order to learn basic nautical skills under the scrutiny of the officers.

This program emphasizes team work and group problem solving skills.
