View from the docks, at Mystic Seaport, Mystic CT


I think my daughter enjoyed our day here as much as I did. It's a pay-to-get-in stretch of riverbank set up with representative businesses and housing portraying an eighteenth century seaport village. Each house and business has one or two docents to explain what they are doing, and what place their counterparts would have had in the seaport village. I love seeing how people lived and worked in the past, and how their societies worked for them.Posted by Picasa

I do like boat pictures! This one is neato!

Hey SB_Gypsy, I left a message for you over at the Dark Wraith BBS, regarding your question. I hope it helps.

I thought of something else that needs to be completed. In the haloscan boxes before comments, you have to enter your name, the next box is for email. To get the gravatar to show, you do have to have email entered.

Hope this helps.

I too enjoy seeing how people lived and worked in the past. It gives me a greater appreciation for all we have today.
I think I would enjoy a visit to this little village.

Good Afternoon, OWL, Wanda,

Thanks for dropping by, it was a great day, and very interesting. They also have a blacksmith's shop, where they produce just about everything for a sailing ship. All kinds of gadgets you've never seen before...
