The Charles W. Morgan is the last surviving wooden whaling ship from
the great days of sail. Built in 1841 in New Bedford, Massachusetts,
the Morgan was retired after a successful 80-year whaling career.
From 1921 to 1941, she was placed on exhibit in South Dartmouth,
Massachusetts, before being moved to her present berth at Mystic
Seaport. She has served as an educational historic resource, a film and
media star, and a porthole into America's rich and diverse history. She
is also registered as a National Historic Landmark. Mystic Seaport
is an appropriate home for the Morgan. Since 1929, this historical
shipbuilding area has become America's leading maritime museum,
a dynamic educational institution designed to preserve America’s
maritime culture.
