Mystic, Connecticut
Feel like you’ve traveled back in time by heading to Mystic Seaport and hopping aboard the oldest operating steamboat, the 101-year-old Sabino, for a relaxing cruise and live concert of soft rock and jazz on Wednesday evenings. Arrive early to stroll the streets of the charming 19th century seafaring village, where staffers portray townspeople plying authentic trades and tasks. Don’t miss the Preservation Shipyard, where skilled craftspeople build and restore colonial vessels. Also, be sure to tour the Sabino’s companions in the historic fleet, the whaling vessel Charles W. Morgan, L.A. Dunton and the Emma C. Berry.

Visitor Information Open 9 am – 5 pm daily
Admission: Under 5 free, Youth $15, Adults $24
