The Edmund S. and Nathalie Rumowicz Undergraduate Seminar on Literature & The Sea
Photography from Mystic Seaport
Below is a selection of photographs from archived documents and books at the Mystic Seaport in Connecticut. They were all incredibly interesting to see first hand. The trip to the Seaport was overall enlightening, and I would definitely recommend paying a visit.
Enjoy!
