INTRO
Given iPad
Choose a flag
Intro speech by Whaling Caption “Good afternoon. My name is Nick Thomson. I exist in a virtual reality: please think of me as a ghost, speaking from the past. I was a cabin boy on a Hull whaling ship from the age of nine to eighteen, but the vessel was capsized by a whale in 1850. Nineteenth Century England knew nothing of conservation issues; responsible resourcing was ignored in the great economic rush of the Industrial Revolution. I’m here, however, to tell you about whales. Some of my virtual friends can direct you on other tours in this wonderful museum, but I’m here to inform you about these fascinating completely aquatic marine mammals.”
