In the 1840s, a Quaker whaling merchant named Charles W. Morgan ordered a whaleship from the shipbuilders of Jethro & Zachariah Hillman of New Bedford, Massachusetts.

Morgan's maiden voyage began on September 6, 1841. She sailed around Cape Horn and cruised the Pacific Ocean. On Morgan's three year and four month voyage, she came home with 2,400 barrels of whale oil and 10,000 lbs of whalebone, known as baleen, which was worth around USD$56,000.

In her 80 years of service, she would make 37 voyages ranging from nine months to five years. Charles W. Morgan, in total, brought home 54,483 barrels of whale oil and 152,934 pounds of whalebone. She also sailed in the Indian and South Atlantic Oceans surviving ice & snow storms, and her crew survived a cannibal attack in the South Pacific. Between 1888 and 1904 she was based in San Francisco.
