Alan- WOW! It has been more than 40 years since I visited there. Your video on the place took me back - and underscored the incredible growth that has occurred at the museum since the '80's. You did such a great job pointing out the fine details, of't unnoticed by the beholder, and whose aggregate creates such beautiful vessels. ...kind of makes me want to 'forge my own adventure' back to Mystic ... and Groton where submarines were my passion. THANK YOU Alan! Great work! Chris Clark SV Jack Lucky - Sandusky
Thank you Alan of the brief tour.. So much history to be seen. Maybe some day, Wave Rover II will be floating there with some great stories to to be told, You and Mrs. Wave Rover have a very Merry Christmas.
A very nice presentation of Mystic Seaport! In my younger days my wife and I spent 12 yrs keeping our 27' classic sloop in Mystic and we were members of the Seaport Museum. I cherish those days and always felt I had traveled back in time whenever we were there! We watched the building of schooner replicate "Amistad" over several years and have a piece of its keel from the day it was laid. It certainly is a very special place for us sailors!
A day at a maritime museum is always fun 👍 My local one has a pink Sparkman & Stephens 34, called Ella’s Pink Lady, but you'll have to venture quite far from Canada to see it 😉 Great video as always 👍
My suggestion for visiting a historic location is to sit somewhere for an hour or so and contemplate what you're seeing. What the people's lives might have been like... If you do this, the experience will make a much bigger impression on you than if you just have a "National Lampoon Vacation" where the Grizwalds spent 30 seconds at the Grand Canyon and then had to hurry off to their next tourist spot. Fair winds.
I grew up in mystic. I was a fixture at the seaport when I was a kid. I used to hang out in the boat yard there a lot. In the summer I would go on the sea camp that was held on the Morgan. Three weeks at sea as summer camp. My Uncle was also the captain for the Sabino for almost 30 years. I see it in the video docked by the Roseway. I spent a lot of time on that ship. A lot of time. You can see my old house from the boat yard.
