The Last Wooden Whaleship in the World
The Charles W. Morgan is the last of an American whaling fleet that numbered more than 2,700 vessels. Built and launched in 1841, the Morgan is now America’s oldest commercial ship still afloat – only the USS Constitution is older.

Hey BL .... thank you for bring this to my attention. I have visited the Mystic Seaport Museum many times. I urge anyone who is "close enough" to stop by. It is a rather large place so reserve a day to take in the Museum and then visit the adjoining shops and village.

Some good eats and places to stay are nearby.

I love ship modeling, beside my TS collection, and have two Charles Morgan models. One was a plastic kit that is together, but the other is a wooden kit which with take a bit of time to do .... and I am looking forward to starting her.

Now this was inspiration ... THANKS! :salute::
