Charles W Morgan Whaleship Photos

[Soundbounder]

Here are some photos I took last week of the Charles W Morgan which is undergoing a three year restoration in Mystic CT.
The CWM is the last remaining wooden whaling ship.

There is also a photo gallery link of the October hauling.
Enjoy!!!

Definitely not a small boat!  ;D  Neat pics, though. You look at the blunt entry that boat has, and you know she had to carry a huge press of canvas to get moving quick...

Thanks CapnK!
Yeah, it certainly wasn't going to win any races.

It was really amazing to be standing next to it, and staring straight up at its massive size.
