Skills of the Sailor
Previously exhibited at Mystic Seaport.
Stay warm and dry on a cold winter day inside our new activity center, as you learn traditional sailor's skills -- or perfect your existing ones.
Try your hand at different traditional skills and arts from scrimshaw, canvas work and sketching to knot work, net making and knitting.
Test your mind as you send coded messages with signal flags. Get active and raise a sail or move cargo with a block & tackle. Then relax to a special sea music performance or a story.
For all ages. No additional fee. All materials provided.
