 The restoration of the 1841 whale ship Charles W. Morgan recaptured the art of wooden shipbuilding and preserved it for a new generation of shipwrights. Almost 100 years after her worldwide working career ended, the newly rehabilitated ship took a triumphant voyage to seven historic New England ports in 2014. Owned by the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut, the Morgan is the second oldest American ship afloat and the world's only surviving wooden whale ship. Today, she is a national historic landmark. Her 2014 voyage was made possible by more than five years of work and $12 million raised in a broad national campaign. The Morgan's journey promoted the stewardship of intangible heritage and public history, educating nearly 65,000 people about everything from the diversity of those who worked in whaling to human whale interaction. She has since returned to Mystic as a permanent floating exhibit, a significant landmark in herself and the preserver of wooden shipbuilding for years to come.
