Learn about maritime trades that supported life at sea and on land in the 19th century. Museum interpreters demonstrate skills in the cooperage, shipsmith, print shop, carve shop, and more in the re-created seaport village.
Stroll through the re-created seaport village to immerse yourself in the life of a 19th-century coastal New Englander. Interpreters bring to life the bustling maritime trades, including shipsmiths, coopers, printers, and shipcarvers, that supported life at sea and on shore at that time. Also, get a glimpse into domestic life with gardening techniques and cooking demonstrations in the Buckingham-Hall house. Trade shops, businesses, and houses from the 1800s were transported to Mystic Seaport Museum from locations around New England to re-create this historic village.
