The G. W. Blunt White Library at Mystic Seaport Museum's collection of some 75,000 volumes focuses on American maritime history but also includes works on American cultural history, marine science, and marine policy. The manuscript collection of approximately 700,000 pieces similarly focuses on maritime history and includes logs, journals, business records, and correspondence.
