Mystic Seaport Museum is a "must see" destination if you are anywhere in the Northeast U.S. It is a fantastic place!

I thought it might be a good place to visit when I watched the videos.
Based on your recommendation I've added it to the links of places to visit list on the website

There is a half-scale replica of a whaling bark named Lagoda in the New Bedford Whaling Museum in Massachusetts. I have a couple pictures on my Myspace page.
