  The sole remaining American whaleship-an important part of both our mercantile and civil history. It is now floating !

  I liked the chance to see the living conditions of the crew and Captain on an actual whaler of the 1800's.....It would have been nice to have included personal items, dinnerware, silverware , clothing etc...

  It's an old ship. Cool to see what those ships were like but not a whole lot to actually see and do. Not to mention, it's only 25% original at most, so really it's like going on a giant model.

  But could be better...yes, it's interesting to see how people lived and worked aboard whaling vessels but wouldn't it be better to TELL people instead ignoring them while they hunt for the few signs posted? The signs were well done and interesting to read but still feel they leave something to be desired.

  Has been kept up somewhat. Very interesting history and part of the Old Mystic Seaport attractions. Interesting that the employees acted the parts of the time.

  I first visited the Morgan when she was imbeded in cement in Mystic Seaport. The hull needed work. The most amazing part of the visit was the number of sailor docents who sailed on the old wood boats as Able Bodied Seamen. The saw it all coming and going.

  We were lucky enough to see the CHARLES W MORGAN under sail during the 38th voyage and go aboard her. She has an amazing history to tell, and as you wander her decks you marvel at where she's been and what she's seen. She's not a replica, but the real thing. Learning from the guides on board, you appreciate how important the whaling trade once was, and how it, and our attitudes have changed. A real opportunity to touch and breathe history.
