A few weeks ago I went to visit my parents in Stonington. We went to Mystic Seaport where you can walk around a preserved maritime village and board the last remaining American whaling ship.
This is the hull of the Charles W. Morgan, currently being restored. It is the last remaining American whaling ship in existence and you can board and tour it even as it is being restored!
My favorite shop in the village was the old printing press. Can you see the cases of letters on the left? All the large letters are in the "upper case" and all the small letters are in the "lower case." You learn something new every day.
They still do their own letterpress printing by hand here and they created these beautiful sheets about the Charles W. Morgan. So authentic and so pretty!
