"But because I’ve trod the Morgan’s deck, watched her 19 sails unfurl, explored her blubber room, because I know her live oak keel steadies her, she becomes precise in word and paint. With the barbaric Pequod, Ryder’s moonlit vessels, Turner’s whale ships, spewing gore into a blood red dawn, the Morgan now looms and moves across the canvas of my mind, sails billowing." Elizabeth Schultz: Ishmael on the Morgan Poems inspired by the 38th Voyage.
