Charles W. Morgan, Historic merchant vessel at Mystic Seaport Museum, United States.
The Charles W. Morgan measures 106 feet in length and contains multiple decks fitted with period-accurate furnishings and whaling equipment from the 1800s.
Built in 1841 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, this wooden whaling ship completed 37 voyages across global waters until its final commercial journey in 1921.
The vessel represents American maritime commerce through artifacts, documents, and restored quarters that demonstrate life aboard a 19th-century whaling expedition.
Visitors can access guided tours of the vessel at Mystic Seaport Museum throughout the year, with special demonstrations of whaling techniques during summer months.
This vessel stands as the last wooden whaling ship from the American merchant fleet and the oldest commercial ship still floating in the United States.
