Whaling Ship

The wife and I recently went to Mystic Seaport in Connecticut.  At the museum they have the Whaling ship, Charles Morgan, the oldest whaling ship still in existence from the 1840s.  So while this is not the Morgan, it is a Whaling ship from a book on the industry.  I find the ships and the tales fascinating and repulsive at the same time.  I admire the handwork and courage of the men on these ships, it is just unfortunate they made their living killing whales and cutting them up.  I really liked the artwork from the book and used it was a teaching device with pen and ink.
