Through the Bridge
Mystic, CT
With the Mystic River Drawbridge raised, the Charles W Morgan had no problems navigating through the channel. The ship is 113 feet long and 27 feet wide. The tallest mast rises 110 feet above the deck. I find it amazing that the ship was built in only 7 months without any written plans. The shipwrights back in those days just knew how to build these ships.
beautiful sailing
ReplyDeleteI envy you being there when the Charles W. Morgan passed through the Mystic bridge. I was not aware that it is going on a voyage. Bon voyage, Charles!
