  • 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.

    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!

    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.

    • @harmandros
      @harmandros 8 лет назад +5

      +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.

    • @funnelvortex7722
      @funnelvortex7722 3 года назад

      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.
