We parked across the street and walked over to begin our day at the Mystic Seaport 
I was constantly looking across the water and enjoying all the great views of homes as well as many kinds of boats. Old ships are brought in to be restored and preserved for our generation to enjoy. Many of the ships were built in the 1700s or before.There was Alot of history and information inside the museum as well as outside on the property. In fact, the seaport village is recreated with like houses and shops and individuals dressed from that period.
On the old ships glass like above are installed in planks on the ships and once the sun shines through it gives off light as strong as a 40 watt bulb. It is a good source of light for the decks below.
Van would have stayed forever but we were asked to leave when the museum closed.
Don't you love the pictures? I couldn't stop taking them.
Many lobster traps.
