Message:: [QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 26697821, member: 77814"]Those are pretty nice. I'm not sure what the first one is but it's pretty nicely detailed.  What I like about the masted sailing ships is it conveys history.back when I was in 4-5th grade I built one of those old models of the USS Constitution. The rigging was string and you had to do that all by hand.  My dad helped me do the rigging. The last coin, I had to look up Captain John Smith - (National Park Service) - Captain John Smith's exploration of the Chesapeake Bay in 1608 was a pivotal moment in American history. His voyages were not only exploratory but also aimed at discovering precious metals and a Northwest Passage to the Pacific Ocean. Smith's crew mapped nearly every major tributary of the Chesapeake Bay, recording the diverse ecosystems and the interactions with Indigenous peoples. His efforts laid the groundwork for future colonization and trade in the region, and his maps and writings played a crucial role in encouraging English settlement in the New World.
