Mystic Seaport - The Museum of America and the Sea - is the United State's leading maritime museum.

Mystic Seaport is primarily divided into four sections:

• A re-created 19th-Century Village, complete with Museum educators who teach about each building's role in a coastal community;
• The Waterfront, featuring tall ships and other historic vessels that one can climb aboard and explore;
• The Preservation Shipyard, where one can watch the restoration of antique vessels using traditional methods and tools; and
• A diverse selection of formal Exhibits and Galleries.

Founded in 1929, more than 300,000 people continue to visit Mystic Seaport annually.
