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 a century ago. Horse-drawn wagon
holds barrels for ship's provisions.

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.
