Sorry this one was a little late - we work Tuesday through Saturday at the Museum, and I plain forgot that it was Friday yesterday!
La Belle's long voyage didn't just include France and Texas. The ship, artifacts, and people involved came from all over Europe. Here's a map showing some of those global connections. The light blue markers show the origins of some of the artifacts, the dark blue show some of the other people and places, and the red markers represent parts of the voyage itself. Do you wonder about something on this map, or something that's not on the map? Send an email or post a comment and we'll try to get your question answered and the map updated post-haste!
Zoom in and move the map around - some of those markers are pretty close together.
If archaeologists excavated your house, what would a map of the objects and people look like? Where does your stuff come from? Tell us in the comments!
