OVERNIGHT FOR 6 ON MYSTIC SEAPORT MUSEUM'S LITTLE VIGILANT

Head out to sea for a pleasant overnight stay aboard the classic 1950 steel sailing vessel Little Vigilant. Travel to a location of your choosing along southern New England and Long Island for sightseeing and cruising during the day and a peaceful night's sleep out on the water. The destination is planned with the captain at the time of booking, and options include North Fork, Sag Harbor, Block Island, etc.

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. A film, "3000 Years Under the Sea" was filmed aboard. After four decades in storage, Little Vigilant was restored to her former glory and is now part of the collection at Mystic Seaport Museum.
