Mystic — The second day of Mystic Seaport Museum's Pirate Days was a bit soggy for visitors, but the show went on nevertheless.
Themed activities Wednesday and Thursday included treasure hunts, cannon demonstrations, story times and crafts. Participants used a map and compass to navigate their way around the museum grounds.
