Black cloth, blue & color illus. dust jacket, maps on flyleaves, 144 pp., many color & BW illus. A superb history of the whaling ship known as the Charles W. Morgan, first launched at New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1841. Charles W. Morgan – America’s oldest surviving merchant vessel of a whaling fleet that once numbered more than 2,700 vessels. Built and launched in 1841, the Morgan is now America’s oldest commercial ship still afloat. “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.” An amazing history and even more amazing presentation.
