Located in the peaceful town of Mystic, Connecticut, the Mystic Seaport is billed as "The Museum of America and the Sea". Visitors to the actual Museum can take in some of the exhibitions, jump on a boat or two, and make quite a day of it. Visitors to their website can also find a great deal of seafaring type information, including several online art galleries, an interactive feature about Amistad, as well as learn more about their very impressive nautical collections. Some of the nautical materials are available through the site, including ship registries for Salem, Massachusetts and New London, Connecticut for much of the 19th century. Additionally, the site includes yacht registers from the late 19th century and selected dates of the American Lloyd's Register of American and Foreign Shipping.
