Coastie04 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 http://www.mysticseaport.org/38thvoyage/ Much later than period, but... The Charles W. Morgan, the last wooden whaling ship in the world, departed Mystic, CT for the first time since she was towed there in 1941. She has been made seaworthy after a long and extensive overhaul and the Mystic Seaport museum is actually taking her to sea. She departed this weekend from Mystic to New London, CT in order to complete her ballasting and rigging, as well as become certified by the Coast Guard for this voyage along the New England coast. Sure, she's much later than the GAoP, but still would be an incredible sight underway. She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregF Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 She seems really beautiful -- thanks for posting the pictures. I am hoping to go aboard when she stops in Boston later this summer. Greg F http://gregflemming.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
