Morgan' is an American whaling ship built in 1841 that was active during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

She is the world's oldest surviving merchant vessel, the only surviving wooden whaling ship from the 19th century American merchant fleet (of an estimated 2,700 built), and the second-oldest seaworthy vessel in the world after 'USS Constitution'.
