What is Mystic Seaport? To some, it’s a fun family destination, full of exciting attractions. To others, it’s a serious maritime museum and galleries. And to others, it’s an incredibly valuable education and research center. In fact, it’s all three – located within 19 charming acres on the banks of Connecticut’s legendary Mystic River. A
quintessential New England experience, Mystic Seaport offers visitors of all ages a unique link to our seafaring past and endless, year-round opportunities to immerse
themselves in new worlds of hands-on history, featuring:

- a re-created 19th-century seafaring village made up of dozens of real New England buildings staffed with historians, musicians, storytellers and craftspeople who bring our seafaring past to life, from shipsmiths and coopers to woodcarvers and chanteymen;

- the nation’s leading maritime galleries, brimming with permanent and changing exhibits offering rare glimpses into other eras and cultures, including the acclaimed Voyages: Stories of America and the Sea, restored vessels, figureheads, ship carvings and vintage photography;

- one of the world’s only preservation shipyards, where skilled craftspeople employ 19th-century tools and techniques to preserve Mystic Seaport’s  unequalled collection of historic wooden ships and boats – as well as build authentic recreations of famous vessels, such as Amistad;
