Mystic Seaport was founded with the mission “to create a broad, public understanding of the relationship of America and the sea”. Since its inception in 1929, Mystic Seaport-the Museum of America and the Sea has become a leading center for maritime research and education, welcoming an average of 300,000 visitors each year. The Tourism Cares grant supported the production of an interpretive exhibition about the restoration of the museum’s iconic 1841 whaling ship Charles W. Morgan, a National Historic Landmark, to educate visitors and to train interpreters. The Charles W. Morgan, built in New Bedford, Mass., is the only square-rigged commercial sailing vessel remaining from the nation’s great age of sail.
