Mystic Seaport celebrates the voyage of New England. Known as the museum of America and the sea, this harbor is a journey to enjoy the enjoyment of marine life in the 19th century.
This is the third part of the series of popular attractions for the historical theme New England vacation. Others in this series are Plymouth Plantation, Mayflower II, Old Sturbridge Village.
The Mystic Seaport Exhibition Hall 100 miles away from Boston at 90th exit of Connecticut is open from 9 pm to 10 pm from April to October and from November to March from 10 o'clock to 4 o'clock .
Here I will explain what you are seeing and how to get the most out of your trip.
There are three major exhibits in Mystic Seaport: historic vessels, genuine harbors and exhibits, shipbuilding for preservation.
Ships ...
Every time I visit Mystic Seaport, I head straight to the tall ship in the museum dock area. I was just drawn to these wonderful ships. The most popular tour is Charles W · Morgan. This is a wonderful example of a wooden whaling ship. From the launch in 1841 until retirement in 1921, he made 37 whaling trips.
Joseph Conrad and LADunton are other wonderful specimens of the museum collection Tall Ships.
These ships alone deserve a trip to Mystic Seaport. But the other two with a unique and rich history are Sabino and Emma C. Berry. For later Sabino, Emma C. was first launched in 1866, and since then many changes have been made as fishing boats and coastal cargo ships. She was beautifully restored and donated to Mystic Seaport in 1969.
Orthodox entrances and exits ...
Just a short walk from the ship there are village exhibits and galleries.
Stroll through the reproduced Mystic Seaport Village and inspire the imagination. Most of the buildings in the village are genuine and are moving from New England and other places in the northeast.
At 46 exhibits, you can see plenty of shops, houses and shops. Go around the voyage shops, discover rope making, collusion, cooperation, sale loft. And two must-see exhibits are Mystic River Scale Model and Ships Smith Shop.
Let's go down the village, check the gallery and spend time in both Voyages and Figurehead exhibits.
The third floor exhibit of Voyages celebrates the heritage of the United States and the sea, and how it continues to affect our lives in many minority ways. On the other side of the street there is a collection of exhibits of exit heads and a nice sculpture.
Unfortunately, these sculptures are dry. Desire for these sculptures on board declines and is now on the verge of extinction.
Return to the shipyard now and prepare to be surprised ...
Retention vessel ...
I do not know about you, but the old master calf skill is always attractive to health and I love to see people working with them. Many of these skills are lost as time economies reduce their need. A wooden boat is a thing of the past, wonderful woodworking and ship skills are sweeping the world.
But here, in this corner of the world, they are exclusively preserved.
In Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard, many of these skills are still practiced to keep the museum ship in the shape of a tip.
There are carpenters, rigging lofts, painting factories, metal processing shops, wood warehouses and old-fashioned sawmills in the garden. Nearby there is a documentation shop that keeps important records used by museum shipyards, carpenters and riggers and maintains the accuracy of ship preservation.
There is a shipbuilding exhibition hall across Dupont. Here you can see the Tales Whaling boat and you can reveal many stages to build a ship.
And finally, if you are ready for the rest, you can enjoy a 30 to 90 minute cruise on the Sabino steamship while climbing up and down the Mistic River.
Based on this information, set up the main sail, raise the anchor, head for Mystic Seaport and experience all of this yourself.
