Charles Morgan
Counted Cross Stitch Kit
The Charles W. Morgan is the last surviving wooden whaling ship from the great days of sail. Built in 1841 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, the Morgan was retired after a successful 80-year whaling career. From 1921 to 1941, she was placed on exhibit in South Dartmouth, Massachusetts, before being moved to her present berth at Mystic Seaport. She has served as an educational historic resource, a film and media star, and a porthole into America's rich and diverse history. She is also registered as a National Historic Landmark. Mystic Seaport is an appropriate home for the Morgan. Since 1929, this historical shipbuilding area has become America's leading maritime museum, a dynamic educational institution designed to preserve America’s maritime culture.
Finished size 8¾" x 7½" on 18 count Charles Craft fabric. Kit includes material, DMC floss, needle, instructions, and color photograph of finished project. Designed by Barbara Bangser for The Posy Collection.

Compass Rose
Counted Cross Stitch Kit
Before magnetic compasses became available in the 13th century, seafaring captains used a diagram called a wind rose to gauge the direction of the prevailing breezes. With the advent of the compass, this diagram evolved into the compass rose, highlighting the cardinal directions and often including as many as 32 "points" or directional arrows in all. When printed onto nautical charts, the compass rose provided the directional reference needed to set accurate courses. This enabled the early transatlantic explorers to sail with confidence. The compass rose in this kit includes points for 16 directions. North, east, south, and west are indicated by the main red points, while the intermediate points are shown with smaller points of other colors.
Finished size 9½" by 9" on 18 count Charles Craft fabric. Kit includes material, DMC floss, needle, instructions, and color photograph of finished project. Designed by Barbara Bangser for The Posy Collection.

Mystic Seaport
Counted Cross Stitch Kit
The maritime heritage of Mystic goes back to the 1600s, first as a seaport and then as a center of shipbuilding. Between 1784 and 1919, the golden age of American maritime enterprise, more than 600 vessels were constructed along the Mystic River. However, the advent of steam power in the late 1800s spelled the end of the wooden shipbuilding era and with it the Mystic maritime economy. In 1929, the Marine Historical Association was formed to preserve the seaport area. Now known as Mystic Seaport, the historical area has become America's leading maritime museum, a dynamic educational institution designed to preserve America’s maritime culture and to turn the achievements of a past era into an inspirational force for the future.
Finished size 7" by x 5" on 18 count Charles Craft fabric. Kit includes material, DMC floss, needle, instructions, and color photograph of finished project. Designed by Barbara Bangser for The Posy Collection.
