Charles W. Morgan

Highlight • Historical Site

Here you will find the Charles W. Morgan historic ship.

The Charles W. Morgan, a whaling ship from 1841, is now a museum exhibit at Mystic Seaport, Connecticut. It's the world's oldest surviving merchant vessel, the sole wooden whaling ship left from the 19th-century American fleet (out of 2,700), second only to the USS Constitution as the oldest seaworthy vessel.

As you pedal across, you can admire the rhythmic motion of boats gliding through the water and the charming waterfront architecture lining the riverbanks. The bridge itself, with its impressive mechanical design, adds to the allure of the experience, providing cyclists with both a visual feast and a sense of the area's industrial heritage.
