The Replica Ship Half Moon experience extends far beyond the scope of our Voyages of Discovery. From the 5th through the 11th of July, the Half Moon presented a variety of educational programs while docked at the Goodwin College Riverside Campus. Between our Historical Tours, Dockside Discoveries, and Classroom Discoveries, the Half Moon played host to more than 3,000 visitors during an eventful week in East Hartford, Connecticut.
