This ship reeks of history, and is worth your time to explore. It's undergoing restoration, but you can climb a series of flights of stairs to board it and can walk on its decks where mariners stood.

This ship is so beautiful, there's so much to explore, and so much history coming from it. Some say it's haunted...

Currently under repair, but viewing is open to the public. Lots of history and the surrounding seaport.
I'm not quite sure why the Charles W. Morgan is listed on TA as a separate attraction, as to enter this vessel, you must purchase a ticket to Mystic Seaport. It's really the main attraction within the outdoor museum, Mystic Seaport. But anyway . . .
Visited Mystic Seaport and the Charles W. Morgan on a recent rainy fall Saturday...
