More Than a Boat Ride Everybody loves a boat ride. Riding in a boat, whether in a small canoe or a giant cruise ship, is exciting, out of the ordinary, and often refreshing. This Maryland Exploration is about boat rides people took for fun between 1800 and today.
Excursions are usually short, often lasting only one day or several hours.
Their purpose is to offer the passenger some recreation. Over history, this recreation often had to do with having a new experience, getting some fresh air, or taking a break in the every day routine. In this Maryland Exploration, you are going to use scientific techniques to answer an important question. You are going to collect data about different kinds of excursions. Then you are going to analyze it.
