A Visit to Mystic Seaport (with pics)

You can't have an expensive yacht without some delicate scrollwork and a bowsprit.

One more shot of this sexy yacht.

One indoor exhibit features a gallery of clipper ship figureheads. Here's four that I managed to get good shots of.

(This one was more than 10 feet tall!)

Had to go back to the Joseph Conrad to get some more shots. Notice the large sheer of the deck.

The guy in the blue shirt standing on the poop deck was talking a mile a minute the entire time I was onboard. That's okay - I've been to museums where the docents just sit around looking miserable.

And that's the last of my pics. There's a lot more to this place besides pretty boats, but that's what I'm most comfortable with. With some luck, I'll be off to Battleship Cove and the New Bedford Whaling Museum in about three weeks. There Will Be Pics!
