What progress you all have made. I cannot wait to be one of the many who will welcome the Morgan back to New Bedford in 2014. I loved the comment “The look is positively yachty” about how the ship looks after a coat of linseed oil. I only wish there were space on board (surely I’m not alone in that sentiment).

Thanks for writing, we’ll make sure we have lots of photos of her sailing after all the work is done. We’ve got a year of rigging to go, after the launch this July, so there will be many more updates as time goes by.

And congratulations on your own shipbuilding and circumnavigation! Who designed your boat?

Tom

I live in Sydney, Australia though I originate from New Zealand

I am envious of those who are working on this wonderful project. Whilst attending a conference at Boston in 1997, I took a special trip to Mystic Seaport and was delighted by the Morgan.

I built my own wooden yacht 20 years ago and have since circumnavigated, half of it solo and thus appreciate well the skills and dedication that those who work on restoring this ship. I only wish that I lived closer to be able to lend a hand.

Thankyou for keeping history alive.
Regards
Peter Hendra
