What To Expect

Mystic Seaport Museum

Immerse yourself in 19 acres of America's maritime history. Mystic Seaport encompasses a world-renowned preservation shipyard, a 19th-century seafaring village, and formal galleries where you'll find assorted permanent and rotating exhibits that explore America's relationship with the sea.

Charles W. Morgan

Visit the actively working preservation shipyard where ships and boats of all sizes are restored and maintained. Docked alongside a 19th Century recreated working waterfront seaport village, three tall ships beckon to be explored. Among them - the last wooden whaleship the world - the Charles W. Morgan is considered the “crown jewel” of the Mystic Seaport collection, she has outlived all others of her kind. Climb aboard and go below decks to learn about the men and women who lived aboard!

You could spend the whole day here. You can take boat rides for a small fee. We rode on the Liberty and the guide gave us information about the Seaport and the ships. I loe that it's a working shipyard. The Mayflower II reproduction is being constructed right now, that was cool. Loved the village and demonstrations. Kids were walking around with little boats they built. Everyone needs to visit here one time. Fun day.

We spent most of the day here - there were plenty of activities: different shops/building demonstrating various aspects of a whaling village, a navigation activity, some rides (for small extra charges). A lot of fun

I had not been here for over 30 years. More extensive now with new exhibits that created the time of the whaling days. We spent 4 hours here because of time restrictions, but could easily spend a day or more here to check everything out. Many of the building have people manning the building to explain how live was back in the very old days.Top notch all the way. The ships, the exhibits, the historical buildings and the people on staff that are excited to be there and help you out answering your questions. A really fantastic experience for all ages!
