New Bedford Whaling Bark

CHARLES W . MORGAN

1841

Plans and Instructions

By Ben Lankford

Model by Bob Bruetsch

Model Shipways’

Charles W. Morgan

kit was developed in 1994-’97. Plans are based

on drawings and other information provided by Mystic Seaport, and from pho-

tographs taken by the author in 1994. The Model Shipways plans and instructions

were reviewed by Mystic Seaport for accuracy.

In 1983, Mystic restored

Morgan

as a double topsail bark. The museum relied on

photographs and other documentation to depict the whaler as she appeared

between 1892 and 1908. Those wishing to build the model in another configuration

should consult the bibliography and the numerous photographs showing changes

made throughout

Morgan’s

career.
