The class standing in 2 hemispheres (over the Prime Meridian)

The boat ride down the River Thames took us to Greenwich. When there we visited the Royal Naval Academy. The two high points of our visit were the Chapel and the Painted Hall. However, our main purpose for our visit to Greenwich was to go to the Greenwich Observatory, the location of the Prime Meridian and the National Maritime Museum. The Prime Meridian is where the East and West Hemispheres meet at 0 degrees longitude. Greenwich is also the timekeeping center of the world.
