C.W. Morgan’s Last Voyage

“C.W. Morgan’s Last Voyage” black and white scrimshaw on ancient mammoth tusk ivory bark by Gerry Dupont. Returning to home port one last time, the Charles W. Morgan is depicted drying her sails after her last voyage. Still can be seen at Mystic Seaport, she was one of the most profitable of the whalers in a bygone era. Beautiful tones in the mammoth give the impression of twilight, not only of the day, but, also,  the ship. Touching.
