Mystic, CT 2021
Housed in an old velvet mill, the Mystic Seaport Collection Research Center is home to over two million examples of maritime art, artifacts, tools, buildings, imprints and other documents. Also stored here are hundreds of historic boats. Researchers can make an appointment to visit the CRC, but during the Wooden Boat Show weekend, it was open to the public. These boats are for research purposes only, and are not displayed. I spent a good amount of time wandering amongst the boats, all catalogued and organized. I hope to give some sense of what can seen here in the next few posts.
Beautiful steam launch much like the African Queen. Ed, I hope to see more boats from this collection on your blog.
