A history of the whaling ship known as the Charles W. Morgan, first launched at New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1841. "This volume of photographs follows the arc of the Charles W. Morgan's 38 voyages, providing an overview of the American whaling industry, including images from the Morgan's 80 years of whaling and 90 years as an iconic museum exhibit, and presenting dramatic shots of her restoration and return to sea in 2014 for a 38th voyage that took her back to her former home ports of New Bedford and Provincetown, as well as to sail peacefully among whales on Stellwagen Bank. It's a visual celebration of the oldest American merchant ship afloat and the last representative of a vanished American industry." (intro) An amazing history and even more amazing return.
