The Charles W. Morgan and the Mystic Seaport

The Charles W. Morgan is a whaling ship that would have sailed with around 35 crew members. It was actually built in New Bedford, not Mystic. Its maiden voyage was in 1841 and it survived 37 whaling voyages. In 2014, after many years of renovations at Mystic Seaport, the Morgan set sail on its 38th voyage. This voyage was just three months up the New England coast to revisit some of the places where the whale once ruled.
