Looking for information on a particular yacht from 1872? Or perhaps you want to know what yachts Vanderbilt owned in 1903? Well now you can easily do that research online. The Mystic Seaport Collections Department presently has posted 5 of their yacht registers and set up a Vessel and Owner Search page. This page is a test, there are many more volumes to go online, and many more searchable fields that we could add but we need user feedback to determine our priorities. Please take it for a spin and send any comments, or suggestions you might have to kelly.drake@mysticseaport.org.
