It's Winter's Aweigh at Mystic Seaport
What, no Yorkies? Well, no, but Mystic Seaport's Winter's Aweigh festivities this weekend will offer up an array of other working dogs doing, well, their work. Among those canines demonstrating their know-how: Newfoundlands on Saturday, Saint Bernards on Sunday and Malamutes on Monday. They'll be on site between 10:15 and 3 p.m.
But showcases of canine capabilities are just part of the weekend's activities.
Visitors can see the exhibit "Ships, Clocks & Stars: The Quest for Longitude," which is on loan from the National Maritime Museum, London, and "Voyaging in the Wake of the Whalers."
The seaport will offer kid-focused fun, too. Youngsters can build a toy boat, listen to stories at the Children's Museum, and look through a sea chest.
Winter's Aweigh, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday-Monday, Mystic Seaport, Route 27; $19 for adults, free for kids 17 and under when accompanying a paying adult; (860) 572-0711, mysticseaport.org.
