Family Program: Sailors, Ships, and Sperm Whales

Ahoy mateys! Step aboard the CMCH and learn about Connecticut’s maritime history!  See what it was like to be an 18^th-century sailor and try your hand at knot tying. Learn about Connecticut’s whaling history and make kid-friendly “scrimshaw” using scratch art. And explore the Making Connecticut exhibit and other parts of the museum with a scavenger hunt to see how boats and ships have changed over time.
