Thursday welcome event:
MYSTIC SEAPORT TOUR
5:45 PM
The welcome event for the 2023 Annual Meeting of the New England Political Science Association is
a private after-hours guided tour of Mystic Seaport Museum. Mystic Seaport Museum is a living history
museum which offers an authentic, one-of-a-kind view of America’s maritime heritage and tells the many
stories of how our lives connect to the sea. The vibrant 19-acre campus, right on the Mystic River, includes
a recreated New England seafaring village, four historic vessels, including the Charles W. Morgan (the last
wooden whaleship in the world), formal ever-changing exhibitions, and a renowned preservation shipyard.
We will meet at the north entrance to the Seaport, which is just over one mile from the hotel; tour-goers need
to arrange their own transportation. Our tour will depart PROMPTLY at 5:45 PM, so tour-goers are strongly
advised to get to the Seaport early. The tour will finish at approximately 7:00 PM.
Please be advised that a boat ride is part of the tour, and that the tour will occur RAIN OR SHINE.
Tickets for the tour are $15, and there is limited availability. They must be purchased in advance by clicking below.
