The full extent of restoration work necessary will become clear as the Morgan’s documentation progresses. Initial focus will be on her planking, framing, ceiling, worm shoe and stem.
On November 1, 2008, the Charles W. Morgan was hauled ashore at Mystic Seaport’s Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard. The 340-ton-vessel was raised up on the Museum’s shiplift in front of a crowd of more than 500.
