Information

Mystic Seaport – The Museum of America and the Sea – is home to four National Historic Landmark vessels, including the Charles W. Morgan, the last wooden whaleship in the world. Currently undergoing a three-year restoration in the Museum’s preservation shipyard, visitors can climb aboard the Morgan during this historic process and watch as this amazing work takes place. Mystic Seaport is home to a re-created 19th-century seafaring village, a working preservation shipyard, formal exhibit galleries and the nation’s premier maritime art gallery. Discover stars under our planetarium dome and learn how celestial navigation aided sailors before there was GPS. Musicians and roleplayers also bring Museum to life – either through music (such as sea chanteys) or first-person storytelling.
