DescriptionCOLLECTIONS & RESEARCH - The Museum's collections hold over 2 million items, including vessels, historic buildings, photographs, film and video footage, imprints, art, tools, and artifacts dating from the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The watercraft collection, the largest collection of its genre in the world with over 480 vessels, includes 4 National Historic Landmarks: the 1841 whaling bark CHARLES W. MORGAN, the 1921 fishing schooner L. A. DUNTON, the 1908 steam ferry SABINO, and the Noank well-smack EMMA C. BERRY. Curatorial work includes acquisition, registration, research and documentation, restoration and conservation. The Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard was established to enable Mystic Seaport to care for its historic watercraft. The Shipyard is also an exhibit where visitors can watch the staff perform the work necessary to maintain and restore our watercraft collection, emphasizing the use of traditional materials and skills. The Museum's extensive collections of maritime art and artifacts, photographs and moving images, and ships plans are housed alongside the G. W. Blunt White Librarys books and periodicals, charts and maps, oral histories, microfilm, log books, ships registers and manuscripts in a state of the art facility, the Collections Research Center. Staff and collections are brought together here in a coordinated and effective configuration under one roof. The Collections Research Center is the Museum's center for advanced research in American maritime history, culture and science, serving students, members, staff and outside scholars. The Museum also contributes to knowledge of maritime studies and scholarship through book publication, and symposia.Description
