Treworgy Planetarium
To you, they’re pretty. To sailors, they were the difference between life and death. And in the Treworgy Planetarium at Mystic Seaport, you can get a lesson in celestial navigation using the stars, planets and heavenly bodies of the season.
Each season the Treworgy Planetarium’s daily program shows you how to locate and identify the stars, planets, and constellations in the sky at that time of year. These live programs last about 30 minutes and include a few basic points about using the stars for navigation. Slide projectors in the Treworgy Planetarium are used to show images of special interest. Different programs and presentations are offered throughout the year, from “Finding Your Way By the Stars” to “Celebration of Winter Stars and Light.”
19th Century Village
Looking for the latest styles in hoop skirts and haberdashery? Take a horse and carriage ride or stroll
through the streets of our re-created 19th-century village, comprised of more than 30 New England trade shops and
businesses from the 1800s.
These aren’t replications - they’re real historic buildings, transported from locations around New England. And
they’re home to many bustling maritime trades, from shipsmiths and coopers to woodcarvers and riggers.
Even the streets will transport you back in time, as you encounter historians, musicians, and storytellers.

Fly Rails and Flying Jibs by Goddard and Lee Retail: $39.95 Member Price: $35.96
Between 1926 and 1947, Robert H.I. Goddard photographed many of the last coasting schooners on the East Coast, catching them underway, in port, laid up for better times, and abandoned. His views range from New Brunswick to Florida. Of particular note are images of large Crowell & Thurlow schooners laid up at Boothbay Harbor, Maine, and of a variety of schooners unloading at Providence, Rhode Island. Mystic Seaport is pleased to publish this selection of 165 of those
photographs, compiled from among the 500 existing images by Bob Goddard’s son, Thomas P.I. Goddard, and granddaughter, Caroline Hazard Goddard. They worked with Moses Goddard to clean, copy, and enhance the surviving negatives, lantern slides, or prints to produce the highest-quality reproductions and capture the finest details of these images.
