Review
The new edition of The Whaleboat reflects this extraordinary three-generation lineage. Walter has contributed an informative chapter on construction details gleaned from the 2002 project. Evelyn contributed a chapter about the extraordinary 2012-13 effort by nine different institutions to build ten new whaleboats in cooperation with Mystic Seaport to help out the Morgan as part of its-completed restoration. During the summer of 2014, those whaleboats accompanied the ship on its 38th Voyage, leaving Mystic for the first time since 1941 to sail to historic whaling entrepots of New England. --Woodenboat, reviewed by Tom Jackson
