Mystic

Village within the town of Stonington, New London County, in the far southeast of Connecticut; population (1990) 2,600.

Situated on the estuarial Mystic River, the village had become a centre of shipbuilding by the end of the 17th century. In the mid-19th century, it was known as a whaling port and was famous for its shipyards, which turned out many whalers and clippers. Today it is a tourist centre, site of the re-created Mystic Seaport and aquarium.
