Teachers Talk About Ship to Shore

The program was superb! I feel as though the students were very engaged in learning and took a lot of knowledge about the time period and maritime life. Bravo!
- Anthony M.

Your staff is phenomenal! They have a wonderful mixture of humor, intelligence, patience and exuberance. Your facilitiy is an amazing adventure for personal as well as educational growth. The most astounding piece is how your experience applies to all the different learning styles and curriculums! By the end of the two days students were competing to show how smart they were! Imagine, a place where it is cool to know what's going on; to be knowledgeable! This is such a great experience.

Students Talk About Ship to Shore

Mystic Seaport was really fun
But now it's over, it's done
Sleeping in bunk beds really did hurt
But I guess it was ok; it worked
Learning about whales was really educational
I had a great time, it was sensational

Climbing the rigging was so fun,
I was sad when it was done
I must admit, I was very scared,
But I am proud that I nervously dared
To climb up, up and away
on that sweet, windless, clear, blue day
Ok, ok I didn't get very far
But that fact will do nothing to mar
My Happiness
