Stonington — Mystic Seaport Museum is celebrating the Henry B. du Pont Preservation Shipyard’s 50th anniversary with a series of events and a new shipyard logo.

In a press release announcing the event, the museum’s Senior Vice President of Operations and Watercraft Chris Gasiorek said “as so many have experienced when visiting the Museum, the Henry B. du Pont Preservation Shipyard is a special and distinct part of the Museum, and as such deserves its own identity.”

The new logo incorporates silhouettes of the Shipyard’s main shop and the Emma C. Berry, one of the oldest surviving commercial fishing boats in America.

The Berry, which was in service for 60 years from 1866 until 1924, is listed on the National Historic Register and is one of more than 500 historic watercraft at the museum, including the Charles W. Morgan, an 1841 whaling ship.

Gasiorek said, “This new branding will help us to share the spirit and traditional skills of our shipwrights to a broader audience.”

In October, a history of the shipyard, written by Clark Senior Curator for Watercraft, Quentin Snediker, was published in the Fall/Winter issue of Mystic Seaport Museum Magazine.

A three minute mini-documentary, produced by Smile Films, and a video series featuring the museum’s shipwrights will be released on the museum’s social media pages in November.

In late November, the museum’s gift shop will begin selling exclusive shipyard merchandise including clothing and accessories. A shipyard video podcast and stand-alone social media channel are planned for Spring 2023.

The Mystic Seaport Museum Shipyard is open to the public Thursday through Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Jan 1.
