In the course of looking up your question, I came across this.

Apparently the nannybot is not retroactive.
Back to the question, apparently not or lost in the bilges of the internet. I would bet that Melville had in mind a double topsail bark like the Morgan, or the Acushnet if she was rigged that way.
Transom looked like this, usually.
Very cool, thanks GM…
Sounds like someone could take the old Revell CWM and make a few changes to it, throw some whalebones and teeth on the railing, a little scrimshaw decoration, and call it the Pequod?
Hey, isn’t there someone building a Charles W Morgan currently on the forum? Hmmm…
Maybe I’ll look around and see about picking one up for a future project.

Chrisk,
If you are interested in a non WIP of the Revell CWM that is very informative, you might want to check out this thread. No, I haven’t glued anything together yet and it was more explorative than a serious construction. The kit is still in queue at this time while I finish up a boatload of other kits.
I really think you’ll like building the Revell CWM although as Bill and John have already pointed out there are some issues with it but it can be built into a really nice model. There is also some information on books you might want to check out in this thread.
Good luck,
Steve
