Recognized as the last American whaling vessel, the Charles W. Morgan was built in 1841 and is now the country’s oldest commercial ship remaining on the water. 
First launched on July 21, 1841, the Morgan set sail on 37 voyages spanning every corner of the globe. After serving 80 years as an active vessel, the Morgan completed its last whaling mission in 1921 and was then preserved and exhibited at Round Hill in South Dartmouth, Mass. Twenty years later, the Morgan was moved to Mystic Seaport where it has remained as one of the leading attractions at Chubb’s Wharf. 
Today, the ship has been masterfully restored and is embarking on its 38th Voyage, visiting historic ports throughout New England. As of Sunday, the ship was spotted at Fort Adams State Park in Newport and is now on its way to Martha's Vineyard. For more information on the Charles W.
