Window-shopping for history, 
visitors stroll along cobbled Seaport 
Street, whose venerable shops face 
the Mystic River. As a setting for its 
vessel-lined wharves, the Marine 
Historical Association scoured the 
east coast for old maritime buildings 
and moved them to the Seaport, 
creating an authentic coastal village 
of acentury ago. Horse-drawn wagon 
holds barrels for ship's provisions.

Mystic Seaport 
,OR CENTURIES the men of Mystic built ships 
?schooners, whalers, clippers?and sailed 
them to earth's far corners. Then steam overtook 
the windships,and one by one they died. Alarmed, 
three citizens formed the Marine Historical As-
sociation in 1929, and out of it grew the living 
maritime museum called Mystic Seaport. To its 
site came gifts of small craft and schooners, an-
chors and heirlooms. Today more than 400,000 
persons a year come to rediscover a glorious era.
