. Mystic Seaport oR CENTURIES the men of Mystic built ships —schooners,. whalers, clippers—-and sailed them to earth’s far corners. Then steam overtook - the windships, and one by one they died. Alarmed, three citizens formed the Marine Historical As- sociation in 1929, and out of it grew the living maritime museum called Mystic Seaport. To its site came gifts of small craft and schooners, an- chors and heirlooms. Today more than 400,000 persons a year come to rediscover a glorious era.

Flagship of Mystic Seaport's growing fleet, the whaler Charles W. Morgan wears sails and bunting for the Fourth of July. Built in 1841, she sailed for eight decades and in every ocean, on voyages that sometimes spanned four years; her false gunports frightened off South Pacific cannibals. When the association acquired her in 1941, the gallant ship lay rotting and neglected. Today, proudly restored, she forms the focus of Seaport exhibits.
