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.

Mystic Seaport is a fascinating step back to a time when whaling ships plied the seas in the northeast looking for the valuable whales that supplied oil and baleen for lighting and clothing and many other uses. THe way of life may be gone, but the memory lives on in an authentic and accurate way at the Seaport. Bring the kids as there is an entire pavilion dedicated to teaching and amusing the tot set as well as older kids. The only complaint I would have is that the food and drink is rather expensive, so I would encourage you to bring a picnic, if possible. But the preserved Charles W. Morgan whaling ship is incredible and worth the price of admission alone. Do not miss this gem which take you back in time in a most beguiling way.

This place was ok if you like old shipping vessels and old houses. Mainly history of the area and my husband enjoyed it but I only thought it was ok.
