Scene 3
Location: Samuel's cabin
Props: Ships log
Name of scene: Art lesson
Dialogue
Ben: Hi sir, can we have our art lesson?
Samuel: Sure lad, ( still writing in the ships log )
Ben: Are you writing about the whales we saw yesterday?
Samuel: Yes lad, but usually it's the same old thing. Either the knot record, or the weather, or bird drawings. Life on a ship is monotony . The same thing every day, you wake up, you change your clothes, you have gruel, make sure the sails are tightened, have hard tack, look out at the sea. If you're lucky you'll find a sea creature. Then have cod, and go to bed. Don't you feel that way Ben?
Ben: Yes sir, I do. Life on a ship is boring.
Samuel: Well, one of the hardest lessons about being a Sailor is that every day is the same thing.
Ben: I can see your right sir. You know, I never thought I'd miss being alone. When I was back home in Bristol, I'd always want to be by Mary, or James, or Kyle. Samuel, why doesn't the crew get lots of space?
Samuel: Well, lad, I know it seems like such little space, but on this ship compared to Columbus's ship the Nina, we get a lot of space. On Columbus's ship the Nina, the crew only got 50 square feet of room per sailor or 3 boxes, as we sailors say. That's not much.
Ben: How much space do we get on this boat Samuel? It seems like so little.
Samuel: Each crew member probably get's approximately 7 and a half "boxes" . Or about 75 feet. That's a lot. It may seem little. But it's not.
Ben: My dad told me before I got on the Calderwood, when he was a cabin boy for the ship, " The Voyager" He had approximately 3 boxes. Samuel, what's a box?
Samuel: A box is 5 and a half feet by 2 and a half feet imaginary rectangle or 14 square feet, that's a sailors space.
Ben: That's not much at all.
Samuel: No, it's not. It's only 35 square feet.
Ben: You know, coming to think of it now, I'm alone most of the time. I don't miss it at all.
Samuel: Yes, let's get to that art lesson now, okay lad?!
Ben: Sure Samuel, I brought the portrait you helped me work on, I finished it last night.
Samuel: Oh lad, let's me see!!!!!!!!
Ben: (hands the picture to Samuel)
Samuel: (shows audience picture) Amazing Ben, just amazing!!!!
Ben: Thank you sir!
