The Charles W. Morgan, a National Historic Landmark, is one of more than 500 historic vessels owned by Mystic Seaport. Not all are on display, of course, but visitors can also get an up-close look at the Joseph Conrad, a full-rigged 1882 training ship, and the L.A. Dunton, the last surviving example of an early 20th-century New England fishing boat. In season, you can also book passage aboard Sabino, the only coal-fired passenger ship still in operation, for a leisurely cruise along the Mystic River.
