3D Laser Scanning the Hold of the Charles W. Morgan
March 6, 2010 · Filed Under Current, Lore of the Sea, Ships
The Mystic Seaport Museum has posted a fascinating video of the 3D laser scanning of the hold of the whaler Charles W. Morgan along with commentary on how they are using the technology to record the original construction details of the historic ship. Definately worth a look and a listen.

Hi Michael,

We are working with Mystic on the Charles W. Morgan and it certainly is a great privilege being involved. Having worked as an Archaeological surveyor for many years it has been very enjoyable to be back laser scanning such an important ship.

There is much more to come from data so I'll look to keep you posted :)

All the best

Steve
