$200 · Ship Model "Charles W. Morgan"

New price! This is a very detailed replica of the last wooden whaling ship in the world. During her 80 years and 37 voyages, the Charles W. Morgan caught and processed more whales than any other whaling ship in history. Built in 1841 at the Hillman Brothers Shipyard on the Acushnet River in New Bedford, MA, she was registered at 351 tons. The Morgan was originally built fully ship-rigged, but shortly after the Civil War she was modified to become a double topsail bark. Her whaling days came to end in 1921 with the decline of whale oil prices. Size: Scale 1:50; Length 30"; Height 27"; Width10". Hard back book "The Yankee Whaler is included".
