Connecticut's maritime life, past and present, is all on view in the area comprising the open-air museum called Mystic Seaport, and the pretty old seaside town of Stonington. |

Mystic Seaport Museum is one of the top tourist attractions in New England, drawing large crowds every day of the summer. The huge open-air "museum" is big enough to handle the crowds, but the capacity of nearby motels is not—the motels are packed in July and August, and guests must prepay their entire stay. The Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration features fascinating exhibits of marine life, and on the adventures of undersea explorer Robert Ballard, who led the team that discovered the wreck of the Titanic. The town of Mystic is quaint and pretty, with interesting shops, lots of restaurants, and a bascule bridge that will interest anyone who likes antique engineering. You can easily get to Mystic by car or train. |

Don't be surprised to see sailing ships in Mystic harbor—that's what it's all about.
