Grade 1 students show off helpful ways to solve Ladysmith’s sunken ship problem
NANAIMO — Engineers can step aside in their efforts to raise sunken ships out of Ladysmith Harbour. A Grade 1 class has already solved the problem.
Students at Ecole North Oyster worked on finding environmentally-friendly ways to remove the ships and presented their solutions to Ladysmith mayor Aaron Stone on Monday.
Everything from dragging to boats out with a submarine to putting inflatable bags under the ships and filling them with oxygen were on the table.
Mayor Stone said he was thrilled to see how accurate the students were.
