Mystic Seaport -- The Museum of America and the Sea -- is the nation's leading maritime museum. Explore American maritime history firsthand as you climb aboard historic tall ships, stroll through a re-created 19th-century coastal village or watch a working preservation shipyard in action.
Founded in 1929, Mystic Seaport is open every day except December 24 and 25. More than 300,000 people visit Mystic Seaport annually.
