Sailing Ship Nomenclature - Cards

The term 'nomenclature' derives from the Latin nomenclatura, meaning 'assigning names.' Nomenclature enriches vocabulary, strengthens language skills, and deepens conceptual understanding.

The Sailing Ship Nomenclature Cards are designed as three-part cards and include a blackline master template. The 23 parts of a sailing ship: ship, keel, bow, bowsprit, hold, tween deck, rudder, tiller, whipstaff, great cabin, roundhouse, steerage, forecastle, mizzen mast, mizzen sail, mainmast, main topsail, main course sail, foremast, fore-topsail, forecourse sail, spritsail, and hull.

Includes:

  • 23 cards with labels
  • 23 cards without labels
  • 23 labels
  • 1 blackline master

The ship illustration is based on the Mayflower (the year 1620) and is a nice addition to a Pilgrim unit.

To use these three-part cards, match the labels to the corresponding pictures. Verify the matches with the control cards and their attached labels.

After the children learn the individual parts, they can create their own booklet by coloring and labeling the blackline master.

Cards with labels are approx. 3¾" x 4", cards without labels are approx. 1" shorter, labels are approx. 1".
