WG
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.

The Shallop Jane Stevens
Mystic, CT 2021
A shallop is a 17th century small coastal boat without a deck which can be sailed or rowed. A boat similar to this replica was probably one of the first boats built by the colonists of Popham Colony in Maine in 1607.

Charles W Morgan

The Morgan is the last wooden whaling ship in existence and has been pictured in this blog many times previously. Currently it is out of the water undergoing routine maintenance, scheduled for every 3 years.

Water Wheel
Mystic, CT 2020
It looks pretty impressive, but this water wheel is probably just for show.

Jealous Monk
Mystic, CT 2020
This place opened up a few years ago at Olde Mistick Village and seems to be doing a very lively business. They feature good pub food, along with one of the largest varieties of craft brews on tap that I've ever seen.

Ship Carvings - Men of Many Colors
Mystic, CT 2020
I have a few more "portraits" of ship carvings that I'll save for a later date. The craftsmanship that went into all these carvings was outstanding. They are all so life-like and expressive. Anyone who visits Mystic Seaport should take the time to see these carvings in person.
