    Step Aboard a Piece of History
    The Charles W. Morgan is the oldest whaling vessel still afloat. It is docked in the Mystic Seaport Museum, and guests of the museum and climb aboard and take a look. It was nice, too, that there were staff members aboard to answer questions and point things out. Though not a fan of whaling (but a huge fan of whales), I still could appreciate the history to the boat.

    Could tour off-season
    Even though off-season, the ship was open for self-touring. COVID restrictions in place (one way walking, posted signs asking for social distancing). Interesting and worth the time.
