Mystic Seaport

On Saturday, we went to Mystic Seaport. The whole town is a museum and it's pretty cool with lots of "tall ships" and old houses.

And old bikes! How would you like to get up on one of these?

This is just one of the many tall ships in the harbor.

Quite a quaint little town!

Hope you can read this explaination of the masthead below.

This was actually on a ship at one time.

There was a whole room about the music aboard ship.

This doesn't look so big in the pictures, but it really is quite large.

The doctor's office was in the apothocary.

The Charles Morgan was the longest sailing wooden tall ship. They were only in commission for about 20 years, but this one was in much longer. They are rebuilding the whole ship using the same methods as they did over 100 years ago.


The original keel from the Charles Morgan. Yes, it is really long!

This is on deck of the Charles Morgan. It really is quite a large ship.

These are masts to be put on ships.

I just liked this shot toward the town of Mystic Seaport. It was quite a fun day wandering the streets and walking on the ships.
