- The world's last remaining wooden whaling ship has sailed again. Built in 1841, retired 80 years later, and kept on display since then, the Charles W. Morgan set sail in July in the waters off Cape Cod. Once it roamed the seas to harvest whales. After more than five years of restoration, the majestic sailing ship is now used as a tool at Mystic Seaport to educate the public about preserving and protecting whales.

Bowhead whales live for 200 years imagine one being hunted in 1841 coming across this ship again almost 200 years later
Now that is a vessel I have not seen in a long, long time...
"You killed my mother....Prepare to die!"...or something like that.
PTSD
The Essex anyone?
@@yaboilemonboi5223 yes may them sail in peace
can barely fathom the incredible craftsmanship required to build such a vessel without the luxury of current technology.
Also with just 7 months and a few weeks strike in between.
you gotta remember they had lots of cheap labour in those times many hand make light work and all that
but building a giant vessel with 15 men in 7 months was still incredible
today we can build it in 3 weeks or less... they took almost 7 months.
today you can't build it, even if you try to make a replica you will end up with half of that.
So you're telling me there is hope of me becoming a pirate?
No
Well no
try Somalia for that
@@RAM-cc9hv well no one can live like how people used to back 1716 but people back then can adjust to the life we have to day so yea try somila
All you need is a speedboat, a bazooka and soms balls
Whale oil lubricated our industrial revolution...and it was the successful drilling of the first oil well in 1859 in Titusville, PA, that eventually made whale oil unnecessary, thus saving the whales.
"Saved the whales"
Yeah Im sure numbers going down even more are "saved"
Then why did their numbers continue to go down after ground oil was discovered
@@youtubecommenter37 because it took time to transition from whale oil to crude oil
Nice to see her fully restored.
Cool
Thanks ANN and Tammy,it is nice
to see some restored tradition.
Thanks Ann.
id love living in those times... but with modern medicine please :P
fonkyman Syke lmao
Hahaaa😂
i feel exactly the same
Without racism also
Modern medicine, soap, running water, bug free food, there are many things that we take for granted
I visited Mystic Seaport and the old Georg Stage (now "Joseph Conrad") during my student sailing with the new Georg Stage in 1989 and remember the Charles W. Morgan well, it was belaid on concrete and there were no plans to ever bring her about again - she was meant to stay as a museum ship.
What a surprise to see her sail again, what a massive achievement! Well done, Mystic!
Well done keeping these magnificent ships for us all to admire 🙂
F am ll
I really like wooden sailing ships they are unique
These ships really are just so beautiful
Going to Mystic Seaport was one of my favorite things to do as a kid, especially going aboard the Morgan. It warms my heart to see this ship put to sea again!
I think ships like these should make comeback... For the earth's sake damnit
You hope...
Hoping and thinking arent the same thing
Is this Hank Hill singing when the video starts ?
hwat? I sell whales and whales accessories.
joehatrix
Fuck, that was actually funny!
When I was a teenager I visited the Morgan on a trip sponsored by a youth group. The grandfather of one of the trip leaders sailed on her last working voyage. It would be great to have a tall ships regatta featuring the Morgan, Mayflower (reproduction), USS Constitution and any other tall ships 100 or more years old including reproductions.
I remember touring that ship a few years back at Mystic Seaport in CT. It was pretty cool
How lucky she is! Its like she is the last from her generation, she maybe saw ships from 1790.
These ships are way better than modern
Bloody awesome boat but if they want to be taken seriously they needs to remove all the replica shit like the oversize barrels
+Hashslingingslasher , the oversize barrels were to store the whale oil also called sperm. At the time of her construction there was also a shed at the front of the deck, and huge basins on stoves to melt the whale fat and turn it to oil. The whale fat, or sperm is the finest burning fuel and makes absolutely no smoke, therefore it was used on torches in the houses for illumination. Candles of spermaceti are still found today in the market and they are very expensive.
I thought the spermacetti was the oil found in the sperm whale's head.
It's all good until they see Blackbeard's ship.
Great is the substance Amazing Thank-you awesome share...
This is what I want, nothing else in life could give me what this would lol
The captains name is captain Morgan : )
Obi Wan Cannoli look at the white letters at 0:21
The morgan from ac rouge
That's one fine ship. Looks great for her age.
Wow i love it
WOW

Waaw amezing
Wow, I can remember the C.W. Morgan being stuck inna mud when I was a kid Dockside at Mystic Seaport...
Very nice More please!
We need a new age of sail.
I have been on this ship it’s at mistic seaport
I been on it at mystic sea port
The Tempest looking boat
the tides have turned
I want to see the ship more
I wish i had one
Nice
1:50 Boats like that didn't do nearly as much damage to the whale population as modern whalers with their engines and massive harpoons.
Whales older than 180 yrs will be worried if they meet this boat.
Anyone knows Edward kenway?
assasins creed father of heytham kenway
That's Ironic
Are they going to bring back slaving ships to save slaves?
Probably in Mauritania but modern slave ships are no match on this one.
La Concorde was a French slave ship taken by Black Beard and he renamed it the Queen Anne's Revenge. Was a beast of a ship.
They built a recreation of the slave ship "Amistad" and that ship is now used to educate the public on the horrors of the slave trade. So yes.
I hope that they shall raise Money to straighten her keel. she deserves that.
wanna know whats nice about wooden warships? you can replenish what they are made of, wood.
Sincere question...how this ship is saving wales?
Activism or something
You should build santisima trinidad
I didn’t catch the “preservation of whales” part
The fact that it isnt used to hunt them I assume
It appears to be sailing educational missions about the whaling industry and the ship's past. That could go a long way towards helping to encourage conservation efforts today.
This ship was in mysterious city of gold
Barcos yeah
the harnesses... jesus christ.. take a risk people..
Jack Sparrow now is not the time, that is not your ship get down from there.
I came here after pirates of the Caribbean :)
Why are there lots of small sails rather than a few or one big one?
Rip good lamp oil
I know people will point out how wrong I am in saying this but it is REALLY ABSURDLY WRONG to risk such a valuable historic vessel to prove an Absurd point!
What's the shanty called?
When the villain becomes the hero
Gotheborg and L'Hermione battle between ships
where is queequag?
AYE😍
Well that was underwhelming
jack black who are u trying to fool 1:41
The most ironic thing I've ever seen
Ironic? You mean iconic?
Magnus Maximus no ironic. Cause it’s original intent was to hunt and kill whales hence it was a (whaling ship). But they use it now to SAVE whales. Which is ironic.
MinionStudios Oh, I see. Didn’t really get the context of your comment at first, but this settles it.
MinionStudios Redemption at its best haha.
The singing is horrific
Steam engine stopped this craft of making wooden ships
I would love to harpoon a whale and have a Nantucket Ride.
1:25 Since when did the US become a maritime nation?
@Ernie Tetrault Basically every nation with water has all that. I mean a nation that was primarily built or heavily shaped by maritime. Talking Great Britain, China and Norway
The modern US Navy is the strongest in the world so there's that. Also Colonial America was founded by people who sailed across the Atlantic, colonial America played a big part in the Golden Age of Piracy (specifically during the "Blackbeard" era, Blackbeard himself operated and was killed off the coast of North Carolina). Even early national America relied heavily on the maritime as railways would not be constructed for a good near-century and the maritime was the fastest way to get between the original 13 states, even during the Wild West the two main ways to go west were either crossing the plains in a wagon train or sailing around Cape Horn on a clipper, both trips took just as long. Clippers frequently made rounds between New York and San Francisco before the railroads were built out west. Also a lot can be said about the Great Lakes which are a hidden gem of maritime history, so even the Midwest of America has a maritime history due to the Great Lakes and the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. It doesn't seem like it these days due to America's advanced rail network and interstate system but America was hugely shaped by the maritime in it's early days and it still plays a big role.
In this snippet no mention of whales the saving of them. Also that monotone guy is worse than golf announcers
One piece brought me herr
