The Last Voyage of the Charles W. Morgan

Over an 80-year career, the 1841 whaleship Charles W. Morgan sailed on 37 voyages to remote corners of the globe. This past year, following a five-year, multi-million dollar restoration, the Morgan went to sea once more for a ceremonial 38th voyage, her first trip under sail in almost a century. Join Mystic Seaport’s Chris Freeman for a presentation on this historic voyage and how it raised awareness of America’s maritime heritage and called attention to the issues of ocean sustainability and conservation. Today, this National Historic Landmark is docked at Mystic Seaport.
