Your explanation of where Mystic Seaport is heading in the future is a bit disconserting. I’ve always enjoyed the traditional aspect, but I guess in the 21st century in order to maintain interest there has to be some digitalization. However, I hope their attempt to keep crowds coming, does not detract from the original intent of the museum. After all, if people want radical craft instead of traditional ones, they might consider joining the Navy. Hope this will not impact your plans to continue the CN classes, that would be unfortunate
