Mystic Walking Tour
Mystic, United States
Why Walk Mystic
Mystic has been a shipbuilding center since the 17th century, producing some of the fastest clipper ships of the 1800s. The Mystic Seaport Museum is the largest maritime museum in the United States, with a re-created 19th-century coastal village and historic vessels including the Charles W. Morgan — the last wooden whaling ship in the world. The village itself is centered on a bascule drawbridge that raises every hour.
