Upper secondary
Be a worker at the Port of Bilbao for a day
The Port of Bilbao is one of Europe’s most important Atlantic trading ports. Indeed, Bilbao was a port before it was a city. But today’s port facilities, based in Santurtzi, Abanto-Zierbena and Getxo, are very different from the original port in the heart of Bilbao itself.
Pupils first visit the Port Centre, an exhibition on the Port of Bilbao which forms part of the permanent collection of the Museum, then go on to a workshop on sailing knots covering the figure-eight, reef and bowline knots.

The stars: the SatNav of sailors
In days gone by the stars were the SatNav of sailors. They used the stars to guide them, with instruments such as the quadrant, the astrolabe and the sextant. In the northern hemisphere they used Polaris, the Pole Star, to tell where north was, while in the southern hemisphere they used the Southern Cross as their guide.
This activity for secondary school pupils begins with a guided tour and then gets them to build their own astrolabe, nocturnal and sundial, which they learn to use with the help of an exercise book.

New workshop
Be a shipwright for a day
In this activity pupils discover how wooden ships were traditionally built by 20th-century shipwrights in Bizkaia.
The workshop begins with a guided tour of the permanent exhibition and Erain, where there is a further exhibition and a live workshop.
Pupils then get the chance to put what they have learned into practice and build a half-hull model of a small Basque whaling boat known as a txalupa.
