Whales Weep Not

Voyaging in the Wake of the Whalers

This new exhibit, now open, is an interdisciplinary exploration of America’s historic and contemporary relationship with whales and whaling.

Visit the CHARLES W. MORGAN

The Charles W. Morgan is the last of an American whaling fleet that numbered more than 2,700 vessels. Built and launched in 1841, the Morgan is now America’s oldest commercial ship still afloat. Visit Mystic Seaport, climb aboard, and experience her for yourself.

Restoring an Icon

November 2008 saw the hauling ashore of the Charles W. Morgan in the Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard. Learn about the restoration of this American icon in the Shipyard Gallery exhibition, “Restoring an Icon: The Charles W. Morgan.”

Welcome to the 38th Voyage Website

We are creating a dynamic, multimedia, online repository for the 38th Voyage that will allow anyone anywhere to explore the stories, images, scientific data, artistic impressions, and artifacts collected when the Museum made history by sailing the Charles W. Morgan for the first time in more than 90 years. We're only half done, but there's already a lot to see and do. Come back often for more. Explore the 38th Voyage
