Mystic Marine Advisors is named in honor of the village of Mystic, Connecticut.
Mystic is an historic village in southeastern Connecticut. Settled in 1654, its name was derived from the Indian missituk (“great tidal river”). From the 17th to the 19th century it was a noted shipbuilding and whaling centre. Mystic Seaport, a museum-village, reconstructs the sailing ship era, exhibiting along its waterfront the 19th-century whaler Charles W. Morgan (1841) and other ships, including the square-rigged Joseph Conrad (1882). Mystic Aquarium features more than 6,000 specimens, and its Marine Theatre is known for its dolphin and sea lion shows.(Encyclopedia Britannica)
The greater Mystic area remains a cluster for marine activity to this day including wood boat craftsmen, sailmakers, boat builders, naval architects, marine engineers, shipyard workers, marine biologists, sea explorers, nuclear submarine crews, US Coast Guard cadets and a local fishing fleet. Local maritime institutions include the Mystic Seaport, the Mystic Aquarium, the US Coast Guard Academy, the Naval Submarine Base New London, and Electric Boat, builders of the US Navy nuclear submarines.
