Mystic, a small village in Connecticut, is a place that has entirely devoted itself to a maritime theme.

Visitors to Mystic will enjoy spending time at Mystic Seaport, a fantastic and interactive open air museum that contains a working shipyard, four historic ships and vessels, and an entire 19th century seaside village.

Visitors can step aboard the Charles W. Morgan, which is the last remaining whaleship made of wood in the entire world, or wander the historic gardens in the village as well as the many museums, which display artifacts, documents, and educational exhibits about maritime life in Mystic throughout history.
