Sailing Back in Time | Mystic Seaport | S06E09

[@frencheric78]

I was a shipwright on the building of Amistad, and then proceeded to crew aboard as ship’s carpenter. I was housed by the museum and it was basically my home for a bit more than a year. Seeing this episode from my home in France brought back a lot of memory, and I could share it with my daughters…. Amazing to see Quentin giving you a touring of the Morgan, this man was pivotal into getting me to Mystic and working in the shipyard was the most amazing and rewarding experience ever.

I saw her in Sydney Nova Scotia Harbor .We were up there from New Haven, CT. Visiting my wife's sister across the street from the big fiddle. lol The first thing i thought was that she looked awfully familiar . I walked down an son of a gun she was the same boat i often saw docked at long wharf.

"There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats Kenneth Grahame". Mystic Seaport is ground zero for that quote and everything it evokes. That is the thought that comes to mind. You guys are doing great.

Been to Mystic Seaport many times since living close, but your filming and documentation was excellent in showing the true essence of this amazing place. It's one of those places you can always find something very interesting again. Thx for a great video and Best Wishes in Maine.

[@whitefam2000]

Thank you so much for this episode. Excellent, as my father was a finish boat maker for Stephens Marine in Stockton, Ca before they switched to Fiberglass and Aluminum boats. After that he went into house construction and built some of the nicest custom homes in Florence, Ore. If he could see a change in wood grain on the front of the cabinets he was not happy, so it was always in his contracts with the cabinet makers we used. Then he went to work in Salmon harbor in Winchester Bay, oregon, and retired out of there, so full circle. Again thank you for the episode it warmed my heart.

[@careylogan7639]

This is what I call a REAL Sailing video!!! kudos for putting some light on the world of sailing and the stuff that makes it work! See how excited you got?? that's the way to make a video. The crew quarters have not changed much over the years. Modern naval vessels pack 'em in just as tight. Albeit we had much more headroom. This is by far the best video I have seen. I WANT MORE!!!!! :o) :o)

[@johnstalnaker8807]

I concur. This is why I watch Sailing Project Atticus.

[@bobflinn7529]

Thanks for a wonderful episode! In 1982 I spent a week on the Joseph Conrad with a Cincinnati youth group learning to sail. (I was leader/bas driver) Great memories and glad to see the Seaport still going strong. We got to tour after hours and each morning would start by swabbing the decks and polishing the brass on the Conrad. We were one of the first non-Girl Scout groups to live and attend the sailing school at Mystic we were told.

[@twoeagledrones]

Wonderful, wonderful episode. Everything about it, history, videography, drone footage, voice over, editing, the whole shebang! I am saving this one. PS. Love your salty dog!

[@stevenbutler5142]

Taking your own boat to Mystic Seaport has to be a dream come true, what a great way to experience it.

[@rh5971]

Jorden's outro was pure poetry and it nearly made me weep to touch the sea again. How I miss it! Such an inspiring and wonderful episode. You are clearly happy to be back on the move and we share in your joy. Cheers!

[@polizach72]

The talent and skill that flows thru that man blood is unreal

[@georgesalmas4582]

Tremendous TREMENDOUS video.

[@Supe063]

Guys!!! THAT was my favorite eppy ever!!! In 2005-6, on board a tall ship, circumnavigating the world I had the pleasure of hand-stitching/making the fore lower tops'l for the Charles W. Morgan!!! Until this video, I have never actually seen the ship as up close as your video. Thank you so much!!! .... Cheers!!!!

[@08cad]

Simply put, this was an “OUTSTANDING “ episode of your channel! Well done and THANK YOU for sharing your visit!👏👏👏

[@dldavidmusic]

Fantastic episode! I visited the Mystic seaport 30 years ago almost to the day and was totally enchanted. You brought it back as if it was yesterday! Clearly still enchanting. So grateful for the video you guys put together and so grateful that Mystic participated so graciously! I'll be watching again...and again...

[@peterock41]

Love mystic , like traveling back in time . Spent quite a while doing historical preservation down there . Ate enough mystic pizza to last a lifetime .

[@TheAtma50]

Such a good production with this video I could actually smell the wood and rope in the workshops and that aint easy when I'm all the way over here in Ireland !! Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!

[@scottpetrich1346]

One of your best vids....Way cool seeing all those shops and techniques.

[@mkk7220]

One word : SUPERB !

[@craigmiller8760]

And the winner of "Producer of the year" goes to Jordan! You are so damn good at this. You always leaving us desperately waiting for the next episode.

[@candacespaur8478]

Yes! Really wonderful!

[@sambarrett4590]

Superlative work on this one for sure! So many feels.

[@bpm860]

There is no justice in the universe if that outro doesn't get an extended cut eventually!

[@donnakawana]

I so so so love this episode... Thanks for taking me places I will never go. An Oso is doing so very well growing up so fast!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️

[@cameronv.peebles6925]

ok that was some of the coolest shit I've ever seen. thanks guys!

[@SVSecondChance]

That was very cool thanks for sharing this. You can go anywhere now days in hrs in a airplane and most people have forgotten the ships but it is and has always been the way to travel around the world for many many reasons. Nice to see people who understand the need to do this and keeping the old and new ways. This is very cool and thank you for sharing.

[@johnsanford48]

loved it one probably one of your best - compassionate and thoughtful!!

[@LG-qz8om]

I really liked this video. And the Craftsman's comment about losing the skill. I used to mention to kids (and adult) that the Real reason they went to school was not for Grades, Diplomas, nor even to get a Job. The Real reason was to pass along the knowledge we learned to future generations so we don't have to learn it the hard way again. In as short as 3 generations and everything Mankind spend millennia to learn can all be forgotten. That's the Real reason kids go to school.

[@koborkutya7338]

Was just literally looking at YT like "is there no new episode from these guys yet?" Nothing. Then pushed refresh and BANG here we go :)

[@ericwithac2919]

What an excellent video. I'm glad I was able to experience it with you both!

[@michaela1655]

I have been to the Mystic Seaport many times. It is definitely worth a visit. There are some very fine people doing amazing work there.

[@jimg7823]

I've known the Shenandoah for ever owner Bob Douglas from MacDonald Douglas built it and used as a charter which the passagers must work raising the sails because there is no power winches, generator or engine

[@RussellMotorsports]

This episode hit me right in the feels... 😍 been going to Mystic since I was old enough to remember... one of my favorite places in the world. So glad you guys got to see it while you were in this corner of the world. You could literally do a mini series on that place!

[@robertflindall4692]

Buds! This is one of my favourite vids you guys have produced. That looks like an amazing place to visit. I love touring some of the historic sites and this looks like a great one!

[@williamoorejr]

been following for awhile and got a kick out of the statement "Restoring a boat is like building a new one with the old one in the way!" I'm going to run that quote over to Brazil and post it on "Sailing Yaba" Love your channel From my comphy chair Bill

[@lewiscowden9731]

This was a fantastic video. I live 9 miles away from where the TITANIC was built so I love ship building. Brilliant video 👌 I will be watching it a few more times. 👏👏👏💖🌹

Thanks for give us the opportunity to wacth this Class from Brazil!

[@donatfairs204]

What a great adventure. The history of boat building and all the skills it took.

[@pataulson]

FANTASTIC episode; love how you both extracted interesting information from each person while at the same time keeping the density high! Thank you!

[@larrymacaluso9051]

This video to me, was by far one of the best you two have made, l just love that area of the U.S. there seems to be so much history of the early years, the ingenuity, skills and hardships of living back then. Thank you so much l truly enjoyed it, of course l love old ships and that period of time, well done both of you. (Atticus II looks so majestic docked there.)Thanks again for sharing, fair winds and safe travels.

[@MoggAndrew]

Definitely your best episode. (or.... my favorite). Well done, nicely filmed and edited..

[@johnandreae6948]

Crazy good episode - beautifully done. You 2 were lovin the time machine. Jordan’s closing philosophical remarks were dead on (& nearly tissue worthy)! Your sailing has become about the parts that make it possible...and those that created them. Thanks for the beautiful history lesson!!

[@Mr007troy]

I absolutely love the iron workers! This was such a great episode, thank you so much for bringing the old ways back to life. Wish I could be there.

[@robm7543]

It was good to see you back in action! Tour of Mystic Seaport was an eye opener too, another place on the list to see. Thanks!!

[@matthewmonroe5338]

Great video!!!! Mystic is so awesome. We have been a couple of times. Once while the Wooden Boat Show was there. That show is terrific. Also going out on an Abeking and Rassmussen boat is awesome. They built one of my favorite wooden sailboats the Concordia Yawl ( over 100 of them). Terrific history on those boats and many are still in Buzzards Bay area including the Concordia yard. You will be close to the Gamage Shipyard in South Bristol, Maine soon. The yard that built Shenandoah . The Schooner Harvey Gamage is in New England Waters now. Be on the look out for them. They are teaching high school students as they sail north. Looks like your New England adventure is off to a wonderful start. So much to experience!!

[@danielpearson6306]

Such an amazing video. Very interesting as I do woodworking but on a much smaller scale. Built 2 kayaks and a conue and other small water craft. Thank you.

[@wow.sailor.]

Hi To the best couple sailing our waters grate episode and thanks for being a a clean cut above the rest, I wold like to join you on a short trip one day. Keep on sailing and we will keep on watching. From Danie and Elsa South Africa⛵️🤿🏍

[@imabeliever244]

As much as I have always enjoyed your tropical destinations and project videos, this was by far my favorite so far...because my dream is still, and will always be, just a dream. Also, the production value somehow stepped up several notches here?! You guys ROCK!

[@carlspiegel6911]

One of my favorite episodes y’all have made. Great content, good job!

[@willemduitemeijer1683]

A true WOW factor. Absolutely magnificent. Fare well!

[@svDeccan]

Loved our video after so long specially Jordan's climaxe narration

[@Mr.Alia63]

You guys are becoming celebrities 👍🌹

[@Disciplyne]

Great episode! Last time I visited Mystic, it was so cold that my fingers were nearly frostbitten and none of the shops you show were open. Really nice to see your tour of the area. Makes me want to return sometime when it’s warm!

[@russgaulke1364]

I knew about the wooden boat show but had no idea about Mystic Seaport itself, Thank you so much for sharing it with us is this video. It was amazing.

[@robertway5756]

Another great installment. The Shenandoah is such a gorgeous ship. Captain Oso is cool too!

[@steveqhanson6835]

Amazing cache of history and generational knowledge. Thanks for posting this. Eloquent closing thoughts Jordan.

[@rothgartheviking858]

That is so awesome Mystic Seaport let you dock there. Its such a cool place. Thank you for showing us such a cool place.

[@sethsacks9947]

This was such a great episode. What a humbling presentation of the complexities that produce seemingly simple utilities. Hopefully the tools and procedures that were foundational for thousands of years won't be lost before we decline and need to rebuild.

[@manazo16]

I am DYING to go visit this place now! Whoa! Never even knew it existed. Thanks for sharing guys

[@peterallmand2952]

Wow, wow, wow, that was the best episode you two have ever made! What an amazing place, so much history, skill and enthusiasm for preserving our past. When the world finally gets travelling again, this old Aussie guy will be heading for Mystic Seaport ASAP. Keep up the great work. Peter from Adelaide, Australia.

[@christophersanders8961]

Peter, please look me up if you do head this way. -Christopher Sanders

[@xOLDGUYx]

This place reminds me so much of Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Maryland. Beautiful video very well done

[@angelcalero6464]

What a treat guys. Thank you so much. This video was super entertaining for me. thank you thank you

[@223Services]

Brilliant video for you and the Mystic folks.

[@thefullmonte1902]

What a treat this episode was. Thank you. Best regards from Denmark

[@ericsmith384]

One of your best episodes. Thank you.

[@FriendM2010]

Wow, all the folks were so hospitable 👍. Looked like an awesome sunset cruise 👍. I never look at a wine barrel the same way again 👍. Think I’ll head up to Napa and visit Opus One and tell them I want to rock one of there barrels before I buy a bottle 😂🤣😂

[@JeremyHolovacs]

this just made me smile the whole time.

[@EldredTGlass]

Thank you the last time I was there was on the day the Charles W Morgan arrived I had walked from Old Mystic to see her arrival.

[@Volder2010]

wow... just wow. You guys have really made a HUGE leap forward on your video quality. I love your videos! Keep up the great work!!!

[@waynemcphail7825]

Love Mystic Sea Port! You did a wonderful job of showing the port!!

[@clarkmccall7713]

This has to be a new favorite for me! Thanks for sharing your lives!

[@coachwaams8212]

Fantastic! Mystic Seaport is amazing….

[@kiphorton1]

Ooooo! I love your puppy. I/we had a schnoodle that looked just like him. She was 21 when she died. I miss her so much... "Diamond"

[@leshawthorn3772]

What a great episode, really interesting. I never saw a piece of fiberglass anywhere. Fantastic job.

[@beckylaughery98]

I loved this video, you did a great job showing around the Mystic Seaport..... thanks!

[@Scotian169]

They said Nova Scotia 🥰. So, true though the shipbuilding that was down in my NS hometown back in the day (and still going on in a different way) was pretty amazing

[@miked5563]

Truly an amazing video. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

[@thedhl777guy]

Great episode one of your best guys. I’ve been waiting for your next adventure. Really looking forward to the rest of your journey you are very lucky living a life that most people just dream about.

[@MichaelPaulHenderson]

Top ten episode here Atticae (Atticus folks). Epic work y'all - thank you for the journey.

[@dab2871]

Took my wife to Mystic in 2019 she can not wait to go back I have been there a lot through the years but she was in awe

[@shuvelhead233]

Wow, you guys are living the dream!

[@koborkutya7338]

I love your adventures in remote places of the world but this thing about the MS museum made me first time seriously think that we should get onboard some kind of floating thing and get through the Pond to visit that place. Awesome images too! Kudos

[@hunsadersrockinranch]

That was great guys! Your editing is adelightful

[@bmorrison0070]

Wonderful video on the seaport!! I watched it twice just to soak it all in!!!

[@deancook558]

Beautiful.

[@peterflynnenergycom]

Wow. Great video. Will definitely head down and check it out. So glad you kids are spending the summer in NE.

[@pranafoods1]

Thank you so much for this episode.

[@olddotcom]

Fantastic episode. Great to see you two back at it. Love your now into a bigger boat.

[@EEJJNN]

This was a fantastic episode! Wow, I wish I could visit. What a place!

[@jamesford8315]

Been there, done that! 1978. Like you, I arrived by sailboat. Would love to go back. Next visit to New England states. Mid-westerner now.

[@baxterevans1549]

What a beautful video you have produced here, I truly felt I was right there with you.

[@navyretired230]

Finally you guys take a break from work work work! Can't wait to see your future adventures. Hope you visit that little boy again David I think near Panama. He will probably be 6ft tall and very excited

[@williamwells8672]

Very cool place, nice old world feel.

[@Painless61]

The Shops in the Seaport are awesome …

[@Kraals]

Jordan, if you found the wooden boat shops interesting, you might enjoy watching Leo's videos at the Sampson Boat Co. He goes into great detail to explain how a wooden boat is built as they restore Tally Ho.

[@rbnhood39]

I would love to visit that place one day. Jordan I could see you working at this place.

[@sdstube8061]

Hey.. What a video. One of another best for you guys. What a history of ships. Really loved this. Thank you

[@joshmontgomery4040]

Very I’m a former master Cooper for Brownforman/Jack Daniel’s very much enjoyed this video.
