Climb Aboard Another Era

Ahoy, matey! Even the most confirmed landlubbers will be transformed into savvy sea dogs after boarding one of the many historic vessels at Mystic Seaport. From the world's last wooden whaleship, the Charles W. Morgan, to the last example of early 20th-century New England fishing vessels, the L.A. Dunton, these vessels offer a glimpse of long-past seafaring days.

And you can do a lot more than just look. Take a cruise along the historic Mystic River aboard our steamboat Sabino. Help set a sail aboard the full-rigged Joseph Conrad. Or, participate in our ever-popular "Dead Horse Ceremony."
