MYSTIC, Conn. (WTNH) — A 19th century whaling ship at the Mystic Seaport Museum now has a symbol of gratitude to all frontline workers.

Deborah Kollmeyer, who owns Adore in downtown Mystic, sent out an email to some of her fellow merchants in the area asking them to place a heart in their windows. Kollmeyer first saw this initiative on social media as a way for people to show gratitude to essential workers on the front lines.
After the hearts came a banner across downtown Mystic, and as of today, a heart flag on the Charles W. Morgan whaling ship at the Mystic Seaport Museum.
