not set up as tourist attractions; so keep visits short and respect their time (so that they don't write me hate mail for sending readers their way). Bos NESGAR Newbury, Massachusetts The Future of Historic Ships Our fam ily just returned from having seen the Charles W Morgan in Boston. What a thrill to see the Morgan tied up astern of USS Constitution. Both ships represent such different parts of our history and are both of utmost value. As long as the Constitution remains a commissioned ship in the US Navy, sh e will be fund ed properly and taken care of. As part of one of o ur nation's most respected maritime museums, Mystic Seaport's Charles W Morgan's future seem s assured as well. Kudos to those

* Mystic Seaport's Charles W Morgan astern of USS Constitution in the Charlestown Navy Yard, Boston, July 2014.
whose work and dedication has returned these two magnificent square riggers to sailing condition. While the fate of so many other worthy ships still hangs in the balance, perhaps we could look at the m anagement of these two examples to guide us in saving other important historic ships. ]OH N AND MELISSA SULLIVAN
