Keeping the Morgan shipshape

Mystic Seaport Ships Keeper Harry Paul power washes the bow area of the historic wooden whaleship Charles W. Morgan Thursday, September 29, 2016 at the H.B. duPont Preservation Shipyard. The Morgan, a national historic landmark and the last wooden whaleship of its kind in the world, will be out of the water for about a month on a regularly scheduled maintenance.
