Unexpected+Visitor+Emily

Grade=100%--Emily, I loved reading about your Unexpected Visitor. Only you would think of such an obscure character. GREAT JOB!

If I had a choice of who my other-wordly-visitor would be I would pick Captain E. Smith. He captained the Titanic on it's maden (and last) voyage. I would want him to visit me so I could ask him questions.

I would ask him how he felt and about all the secrets of the ship. I know they have "models" but they aren't as good as an eyewitness. I would ask him if the rumors about him were true. There were sightings of the captain after the ship went down. Some men on an overturned lifeboat claimed to have seen the captain that was supposed to have "gone down with his ship" These men claimed to see him come up to the surface of the water, hand them a swaddeled newborn and went down under the surface never to be seen again.

I would serve Captain Smith a cup of English Tea. He was often served tea during his meals on the ship. I would also serve him like little tea cakes and danishes adn other kinds of pastries.

I would plan to go places like old shipyards and maybe even as far as the shipyard they built the Titanic. It would be nice to just sit and talk about all the wornderful things about the "Floating Palace"

Since I was planning on serving tea, I would place the tea cup in a plastic bag and have it analyzed and I would keep the reports that said it was Captain E. Smith's DNA and fingerprints on the tea cup. You can't argue (successfully) with a DNA test.
