Up to 6 of you will delight in watching a New England sunset over dinner and drinks while cruising the Mystic River aboard the 1950 steel sailing vessel Little Vigilant.
You will depart from Mystic Seaport Museum for a three-hour cruise, returning upriver just as the sun is setting in a remarkable scene.
With a length overall of 71 feet, Little Vigilant was designed and built for yachtsman Drayton Cochran of New York to be able to sail both sea and the canals of Europe. She spent her first years cruising Europe and in 1959 served as the dive vessel for an underwater archaeological expedition in the Aegean Sea with Peter Throckmorton and the National Geographic Society. The film, "3000 Years Under the Sea," was shot aboard. After four decades in storage, Little Vigilant was restored to her former glory and is now part of the collection at Mystic SeaportMuseum.
Available on a mutually agreeable weekday evening from June through October 2022 or summer of 2023. Minimum two weeks advance notice. Cruise is approximately 3 hours long and is weather-dependent. Meal to be selected from Lancer Catering menu (up to $500). Drinks provided by the Stonington Historical Society.
