41° 22' 25" N, 071° 12' 12" W - Mystic, CT - Permanent Geographic Coordinates on Waymarking.com

My family and I were on a vacation trip, exploring a little bit of Connecticut. One of our first stops was the Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration in Mystic, Connecticut. It was raining and therefore a good idea to visit this nice aquarium.

One of the first things we discovered were these coordinates. You'll find the coordinates once you pay your entrance fee. After you go through one of the entrance gates you are standing in a round area. On the ground is a big world map made of gray and black granite stone. In the middle of this round world map is an iron manhole for rain water. The given latitude and longitude coordinates are in the top of the manhole cover.
