Read our comments below about what was in the sea chest and what we learned. Here is Katy's comment:
I really enjoyed getting dressed up. We put on a stripey coat made from a Hudson's Bay
Company 6point blanket, a pair of warm shoes made of animal skin and a woven belt like the voyageurs used.I also got to hold a real beaver skin which felt smooth and soft but also quite upsetting to think that it had been a real beaver. After when we got to take off the outfit it felt way better because we were way too hot. I learned that they used to kill lots of animals to make warm clothes. |
