Groton - Mystic
The Groton Mystic area is a fantastic place for folks who love boats, submarines and history,
both military history and civilian. It's a great mix of working ships and historic displays.

Near the submarine base a patrol boat cruises by a sailing regatta.
A Mystic landmark is the lift bridge with its massive counter weights.
Also in Mystic is the Mystic Seaport Museum, a huge complex featuring boats, ships and an extensive compound of ship related buildings and displays.
The Seaport Museum is also home to the Amistad.
In Groton you'll find the USS Nautilus, the first nuclear powered sub.
