The Compass Rose

Pirates knew their stars to get them where they wanted to go, but a compass was also an important part of navigation. You probably already know that a compass has four points: North, South, East, and West. But did you know that the Compass Rose has 32 points!? Originally, the rose was intended to represent the 32 different wind directions, which sailors knew by name back in the middle ages. You’ll find beautiful versions on the compass rose on many a pirate map. Care to try your hand at designing your own?

Speaking of directions...…… .. Could you find your way around a pirate ship? Bow: Stern (Aft): Starboard: Portside:

Forward Section of the Ship Rear Section of the Ship Right side of the ship (when facing the Bow) Left side of the ship (when facing the Bow)

After practicing these directions a few times, try a game of Who Needs a Map? One player is the Captain and the rest of the players are the Crew. The Captain hides a treasure and then directs the crew to help them find it by calling out the above directions. Players step forward for Bow, Backward for Stern, to their Right for Starboard, and to their left for Port. Only those who know their directions well will reach the treasure.
