For everyone's enjoyment (and sanity), the video is displayed at 2x speed, this was a very slow process! This was also my first attempt at video editing, sorry if it isn't very smooth...

Mystic Seaport or Mystic Seaport: The Museum of America and the Sea, in Mystic, Connecticut, is the largest maritime museum in the world. It is notable for its collection of sailing ships and boats, and for the re-creation of the crafts and fabric of an entire 19th-century seafaring village. It consists of more than 60 original historic buildings, most of them rare commercial structures moved to the 19-acre (0.077 km2) site and meticulously restored.[1]
Mystic is a village and census-designated place (CDP) in New London County, Connecticut, in the United States. The population was 4,205 at the 2010 census.[1] Mystic has no independent government because it is not a legally recognized municipality in the state of Connecticut. Rather, Mystic is located within the towns of Groton (west of the Mystic River, and also known as West Mystic) and Stonington (east of the Mystic River).
Historically, Mystic was a leading seaport of the area, and the story of Mystic's nautical connection is told at Mystic Seaport, the nation's largest maritime museum,[citation needed] which has preserved a number of sailing ships (most notably the whaleship Charles W. Morgan) and seaport buildings. The village is located on the Mystic River, which flows into Long Island Sound, providing access to the sea. The Mystic River Bascule Bridge crosses the river in the center of the village. According to the Mystic River Historical Society, the name Mystic is derived from the Pequot term missi-tuk, describing a large river whose waters are driven into waves by tides or wind.

From the Mystic Seaport website.
Mystic Seaport is the nation’s leading maritime museum. Founded in 1929 to gather and preserve the rapidly disappearing artifacts of America’s seafaring past, the Museum has grown to become a national center for research and education with the mission to “inspire an enduring connection to the American maritime experience.”
The Museum’s grounds cover 19 acres on the Mystic River in Mystic, CT and include a recreated 19th-century coastal village, a working shipyard, formal exhibit halls, and state-of-the-art artifact storage facilities. The Museum is home to more than 500 historic watercraft, including four National Historic Landmark vessels, most notably the 1841 whaleship Charles W. Morgan, America’s oldest commercial ship still in existence.
The Museum hosts 250,000 visitors annually and has an active membership base of 16,000 from all over the Unites States and the world.
A stroll through the historic village transports visitors back to the mid-1800s where they can experience firsthand from staff historians, storytellers, musicians, and craftspeople just what life was like to earn ones living from the sea. In the Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard, they can watch shipwrights keeping the skills and techniques of traditional shipbuilding alive as they restore and maintain the Museum’s watercraft collection.
The Museum’s 41,000 square-foot Collections Research Center (CRC) offers exceptional physical and electronic access to the more than 2 million artifacts. The collections range from marine paintings, scrimshaw, models, tools, ships plans, an oral history archive, extensive film and video recordings, and more than 1 million photographs—including the incomparable Rosenfeld Collection. The CRC is also home to the G.W. Blunt White Library, a 75,000-volume research library where scholars from around the world come to study America’s maritime history.

Restoring the Charles W. Morgan, Mystic Seaport - Old Style filming!
My wife and I visited Mystic Seaport in Connecticut during June 2011. They're restoring an old wooden whaling ship named the Charles W. Morgan there. I got out my iPhone and started shooting using iRetroscope and 8mm Vintage Camera apps. I took out all sound purposely to give it that old feeling! It's a pretty cool ship - They let you go in it too, so some of my footage is actually on the ship. Also, some of it (near the end) is inside a work shop where they work on parts of the ship that aren't attached (such as shaping boards and stuff.) Great fun!

Charles W. Morgan (ship)
Charles W. Morgan is an American whaling ship whose active service period was during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Built in 1841, ships of this type were usually used to harvest the blubber of whales for whale oil, which was commonly used in lamps. The ship has served as a museum ship since the 1940s, and is now an exhibit at the Mystic Seaport museum in Mystic, Connecticut. She is the world's oldest surviving merchant vessel, and the only surviving wooden whaling ship from the 19th century American merchant fleet. She was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.

State Anthem of Connecticut - Yankee Doodle (Vocal)
Yankee Doodle is a well-known American song, the early versions of which date to before the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution (1775–83). It is often sung patriotically in the United States today and is the state anthem of Connecticut.
Father and I went down to camp,
Along with Captain Gooding;
And there we saw the men and boys,
As thick as hasty pudding.
Yankee doodle, keep it up,
Yankee doodle dandy;
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.
There was Captain Washington
Upon a slapping stallion,
A-giving orders to his men,
I guess there was a million.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step,
And with the folks be handy.

Cat forklift to work alongside its’ vintage 1954 Cat lift truck – still in operation today.

Video Transcript:
Quentin Snediker, Shipyard Director: Mystic Seaport is the largest maritime museum in the United States. The mission is to inspire an enduring connection with the American maritime experience.
We have about 300,000 visitors every year, and our responsibility here is to maintain a fleet of historic watercraft, ranging from small canoes like you see behind us here, to the whale ship Charles W. Morgan – a ship that weighs 450 tons.
We basically start with trees and those trees can weigh several tons.
Nathan Adams, Shipwright: It might be a 7-ton live oak log from a trailer into our sawmill – we’re moving those cut pieces of wood from the sawmill into big machinery that we’re using to cut it up and form the boat parts. Then we’re taking those parts from the machinery and moving them onto the boat, like the Mayflower II.
Snediker: There are many steps involved, starting from the tree and finishing with the ship – and a Cat® forklift is absolutely vital to every movement along the way. We’ve had a tradition of Cat machinery here, we’ve got a 1954 Cat forklift and our familiarity with the reliability with Cat equipment, the great service we’ve had through the decades…literally…led us to focus on Cat machinery.
Scott Noseworthy, General Maintenance Supervisor: The reason we picked the DP70N is that it was a direct replacement for the machine that we currently use, both in its footprint and maneuverability around the shipyard.
Adams: It’s been a good 20 plus years since we’ve had a replacement machine. So getting a brand new forklift was pretty exciting.
Snediker: Our shipyard is not just a working shipyard, but it is a visitor’s space. We need to integrate the use of our heavy equipment with visitors actually walking through the work areas.
Adams: Our new Cat (lift truck) allows us a full range of visibility and great maneuverability so that we can safely work around our visitors and our colleagues.
Greg See, Shipwright: We are moving 30 ft. logs with the public standing 20 ft. away, and so every nook of space gets used. And therefore, being able to get in and out of all of those tight corners is unparalleled.
Snediker: The visibility I think is great; with the windows open communication is easy.
See: The side view mirrors are also quite helpful.
Noseworthy: The moving forks are a great help for us. Not having to climb on and off the machine to adjust it – could have been at least 2 hours a day jumping off the machine just to readjust the forks.
Adams: Our old forklift we had to do that by hand, but the new forklift allows us to control all of that from the cab. It’s really been a time saving feature.
See: I would absolutely recommend Cat (lift trucks) to others.
Snediker: Our experience has shown us that this machine is durable, reliable and we have great confidence in it.
Adams: Mystic seaport is the museum of America and the sea. We have vessels that were built here dating back hundreds of years, and carrying on that tradition of American made machinery is fantastic for us.
Noseworthy: I wouldn’t go with anything else.
