In our assignment project of researching the Great White Fleet, our job is to describe and act as if we were a sailor on board writing letters back home. We are to describe what happens at six locations (which we get to pick) and what kind of events or adventures there are while visiting that location. Also, we have to explain what sailors had to go through during this departure and why we decided to join on this journey. So far in my research I have read about Australia, California and Hawaii. I have learned a lot about how people from each location welcome the fleet and sailors and what kinds of activities took place. I've also gained a bigger perspective on exactly what the purpose of the fleet was and some advantages the US gained by sending this fleet off.
