THE RAIL

by Kristen L. Greenaway

By the time you read this letter, my tenure at CBMM will have passed its twoyear anniversary. Where did those two years go?! In a flash! Perhaps that’s why I’m still just as excited as I was when I started in July 2014. The time may feel like it’s sped by, but we all—members, guests, staff, volunteers, and boards— can be proud of what we have achieved working together. The partnerships we’ve built with local, regional, and national organizations are driving the vision of CBMM to one of social responsibility.

We can never forget our mission—our dedication to preserving and exploring the history, environment, and people of the Chesapeake Bay. But we can also never forget that we’re a set of intersecting cultural communities—a center for communication, not just exhibition—and thus much more than a set of buildings. As a 21st-century museum—nay, a 21st-century education institution—we’re about enabling audiences to access and explore the creative process. It’s a twoway conversation—not just about showing the final object. Our audiences are interested in the story and how they can engage with it, through whatever device is available to them.

Salman Rushdie says it so well: “How do you make people see that everyone’s story is now a part of everyone else’s?”

We have many stories to tell our audiences. We are extremely proud of our growing Rising Tide After-School Program, which teaches regional middle schoolers to build boats, helps them to develop a sense of self-confidence and pride, and facilitates mentorships that provide guidance and support during these crucial years of development. The Community Block Party held on May 22 opened our campus free of charge to the community. Many of our guests had never set foot on campus before, or even been out on the water. Our K–12 education programming is growing, and we are beginning what could be the most historic restoration of a Chesapeake Bay watercraft, the 1889-built Edna E. Lockwood, the last sailing historic bugeye in the world. A number of exhibitions are on the horizon to expand our knowledge of the Chesapeake Bay and its history, environment, and people—and tell wonderful stories. A Single Goal: The Art of Trumpy Yacht Building opens August 6. The Trumpy Yard left behind a rich legacy of beautiful boats, John H Trumpy’s exquisite draftsmanship, and a team of highly skilled workers; A Single Goal will provide the most comprehensive look at this legacy. In 2017, we will open the very first Bay-focused retrospective of the late photographer Robert De Gast. All from CBMM’s collection, De Gast’s haunting blackand-white photographs of watermen, lighthouses, and rivers cemented his reputation as one of the premier chroniclers of the Chesapeake Bay.

All of these wonderful experiences are made possible by your generous donations to our Annual Fund, your annual membership, your attendance at our festivals, and your participation in our programs. Your support for CBMM allows us to engage and inspire the next generation of Chesapeake stewards. Thank you for your continued support, and I encourage you to visit cbmm.org/donate to participate in this year’s Annual Fund.

Come and share our stories, and find the place to share your own—at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum!

Schooner America at CBMM this September

The 139-foot yacht America will be at CBMM during Labor Day weekend, September 5 and 6, and again Saturday, September 10 and Sunday, September 11. America is a replica of the schooner that launched the America’s Cup tradition in 1851 by defeating the best the British could offer to win the Royal Yacht Squadron’s “100 Pound Cup.”

While in St. Michaels, America will offer dockside tours to CBMM guests along with private and public cruises during select times. As the official ambassador of the America’s Cup, the replica schooner began its North American tour in San Diego in 2015, with its East Coast leg navigated in 2016 from the Gulf of Mexico up the Eastern Seaboard to Maine, before tacking south through the Caribbean and on to Bermuda in 2017 for the America’s Cup.

The sailing ship’s visit in St. Michaels is also anticipated to include multimedia programs covering the past, present, and future of the America’s Cup in CBMM’s Van Lennep Auditorium, along with special junior sailing talks and tours that delve into the principles of sailing and the benefits of junior sailing, including self-reliance and confidence.

It will also enable CBMM guests to understand how the sport of sailing has evolved from 19th-century sailing ships to the high-tech vessels participating in today’s America’s Cup.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and America’s visit touches deeply our mission of preserving and exploring maritime heritage,” said CBMM President Kristen Greenaway. “We’re very keen to give our guests the opportunity to climb and sail aboard her, and especially our youth the opportunity to explore the science and technology that are behind America’s Cup racing.”

The schedule for dockside tours, programs, and public cruises will be announced at cbmm.org, with more information about the schooner America  at bit.ly/SchoonerAmerica.

Midshore Riverkeeper Conservancy

Launches Pumpout Boat at CBMM

On March 31, the Midshore Riverkeeper Conservancy and Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum unveiled the first-ever pumpout boat on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Built by Bay Sails Marine in Wellfleet, Mass., the boat is 22’ long with a center console. Its cargo tank sits below the waterline, a design specific to pumpout boats.

The boat will serve boaters with holding tanks, making pumping out easier for boaters near the busy St. Michaels harbor and expanding service to the Miles and Wye rivers, where there are no pumpout stations. The Alcar Environmental craft was christened at CBMM’s annual Blessing of the Fleet on April 14.

Over the past two years, MRC and CBMM worked in concert to bring this valuable service to the hundreds of boaters who frequent local ports, scenic anchorages, and piers. MRC worked with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to obtain a grant that funded 75 percent of the purchase price; that same grant will partially cover the ongoing annual operation and maintenance costs. Twenty-five percent of the funds needed were raised through MRC supporters.

The harbor in St. Michaels is so crowded on weekends that it discourages boaters and frequently prevents boats from reaching a land-based pumpout facility. CBMM is donating free dockage, storage, and use of its land-based pumpout station to off-load waste from the pumpout boat. The waste removed from boats goes directly to the recently updated St. Michaels Wastewater Treatment Plant, which provides high-quality sewage treatment.

It is illegal to discharge raw sewage, but many people are surprised to discover that it is legal to discharge marine sewage overboard with very limited treatment. According to an MRC news release, legal marine sanitation devices simply macerate the waste and reduce bacteria. They do nothing to remove polluting nutrients—nitrogen and phosphorus—from the waste. Providing pumpout services to boaters on the Miles and Wye rivers means that nutrient pollution and harmful bacteria introduced by recreational boaters can be significantly reduced. The pumpout boat began operating Fridays through Sundays on the Miles and Wye rivers this summer season and will continue through October 16.

Typical service hours are noon-5pm on Fridays and 10am-5pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Hours will be extended for long weekends, including Labor Day. All residents on the Miles and Wye rivers are eligible to sign up for regular pumpouts from their piers during the summer season. Cruisers will be able to hail the pumpout boat via VHF radio or cell phone. Since the service is free, no boater is discouraged from pumping out.

To sign up for regular pumpouts at your slip, mooring, or dock, contact the Midshore Riverkeeper Conservancy’s Ann Frock with your name, address, email, and phone number at 443-385-0511 or ann@midshoreriverkeeper.org.

Based on the studies, surveys, and analysis of other pumpout boats, it is estimated the boat will pump between 15,000 and 25,000 gallons of concentrated marine waste. You can help. Call or sign up for regular pumpouts this boating season, and pass the word: Please Pump, Don’t Dump.

Volunteer Profile: Don Boehl

by Tatum Welsh

Born in Baltimore, CBMM volunteer Don Boehl has deep roots on the Eastern Shore, with his long line of heritage calling Talbot County home since 1686. For Boehl, the birth of his grandmother, Ethel Carrol Ball, in 1894 in Neavitt, Md., marks the beginning of his relationship with and appreciation for the Chesapeake Bay.

Boehl’s first memories of the Chesapeake began with summer visits to the home of his grandmother’s brother, Greely Ball, and his wife, Emma, in Neavitt. He spent his summer afternoons alongside his brother and cousins, fishing with periwinkles, wading in search of soft crabs, and crabbing with hand lines.

Following his retirement, Boehl settled in St. Michaels in June 2015. After 40 years in printing equipment sales, four years as a high school educator, and teaching career technology courses in printing at Edmondson-Westside High School in Baltimore, he fell in love with woodworking and boat construction at CBMM.

As he spent more time at CBMM, Boehl was asked by President Kristen Greenaway to help with the Rising Tide After-School Program and other youth education initiatives.

“It’s just rewarding to see the different interests and skill levels of the children. Hopefully, we are helping cultivate the future stewards of the Chesapeake Bay,” says Boehl.

The most memorable experience CBMM has given Boehl is the annual Mid-Atlantic Small Craft Festival, specifically the 2012 event.

“As co-director of the Chesapeake Wooden Boat Builders, we would bring a large faction of the school’s members to the Mid-Atlantic Small Craft Festival,” recalls Boehl.

“Our ongoing project was to build a genuine Chesapeake Bay flat iron skiff.” The skiff, only constructed at maritime festivals, was dubbed the showboat for the event and named Ginny-Rea, in honor of Boehl’s mother and aunt.

“If you like being active, like water activities, and like meeting new friends, be a volunteer,” Boehl encourages.

A Single Goal: The Art of Trumpy Yacht Building

by Pete Lesher

Norwegian immigrant John Trumpy founded one of the most admired and renowned yacht building yards in America. Born to a shipbuilding family, Trumpy trained at a technical school in Berlin, apprenticed at a shipyard in Kiel, arrived in New York in 1902, and found work as a naval architect with New York Shipbuilding near Camden, N.J. In 1910, he became a founding partner of the Mathis Yacht Building Company in Camden. Trumpy focused on designing and building what were then called houseboat yachts—well-appointed motor vessels with accommodations for living aboard and cruising. Bright white hulls with a subtle sheer and a gold scrollwork “T” at the bow were the company’s hallmarks.

Among the yard’s best-known products is Sequoia, a 104-foot houseboat that served as a presidential yacht from 1933 to 1977. Over the years, Trumpy built a number of houseboat yachts for his own use, each of them named Aurora. Details varied by size, but the main deck of a Trumpy houseboat typically featured a pilot house forward, a long, attached deck house with a wood-paneled salon for entertaining, and a covered deck at the stern. Below deck were engines and staterooms, with the owner’s stateroom often at the stern.

Larger boats included crew quarters, typically forward. Staterooms would be appointed with built-in furniture custom fitted by the yard’s cabinetmakers. To meet high standards, the yard produced its own patterns and castings for virtually every fitting—from chocks and cleats to small hardware. Like every other boat builder, Trumpy supported the war effort during World War I by taking military contracts to construct submarine chasers and more, a pattern repeated during World War II. He rose to president of the company after the death of John Mathis in 1939 and changed the

name to John Trumpy & Sons in 1943. In 1947, disgusted by the water pollution that stained the white hulls of his new yachts, Trumpy moved the yard to Spa Creek in Annapolis, site of the former Annapolis Yacht Yard. John Trumpy Sr. passed the company leadership to the next generation, John Jr. and Donald, in 1952, and in later years his grandsons worked for the yard as well. John Sr. remained active with the yard until his death in 1963. The yard recovered from a devastating fire, but the 1960s brought new pressures. Other boatbuilders transitioned to fiberglass, particularly for smaller boats, and to aluminum for larger ones. Trumpy stuck with wood, but skilled craftsmen who built reputable boats were becoming harder to find. When labor unrest over the yard’s wage scale culminated in a strike, Trumpy lost more key personnel, and the yard closed for good in 1973.

In addition to members of the Trumpy family, the yard employed a number of well-remembered people engaged in Chesapeake boatbuilding in the mid-20th century, including cabinetmaker Harold Argue, boat carpenter and foreman Frizzie Atwell, yard superintendent Lyle Gaither, and draftsman Ernie Tucker.

On August 6, 2016, CBMM will open a special exhibition titled A Single Goal: The Art of Trumpy Yacht Building. Originated by the Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts in Annapolis, the exhibition will be expanded for its installation in St. Michaels. Through models, paintings, photographs, artifacts such as wooden patterns and vintage

signage, a full-size 14-foot Trumpy-designed lapstrake yacht tender, and original drawings by naval architect and yacht designer John Trumpy Sr., the exhibition explores the detailed process of wooden boatbuilding as an art form. Visitors will follow the boatbuilding process from the first small, hand-carved wooden model to detailed drawings, lofting, framing, and planking. The exhibition runs through November 27, 2016 in CBMM’s Steamboat Building. A catalogue complements the exhibition and is available for purchase in the Museum Store.

Chesapeake Culture Goes to College

Chesapeake Semester and CBMM

On a sunny afternoon at the Pamunkey Indian reservation in Virginia, 12 students and two instructors sit at long tables, covered to their elbows in a fine, slippery film of clay. The students are learning the traditional Pamunkey art of making pinch pots, and they are tackling the task with messy aplomb. Their Pamunkey pottery teacher, Debra Martin, explains the significance of this simple task. “For thousands of years, our men have been harvesting clay from a bank on the Pamunkey and using it to make pots like this. We burnish them with stones and fire them in a pit today the same way my mother did, and her mother, and so on, for hundreds of generations.”

Though the products of this workshop are not the glowing, delicate orbs produced by master Pamunkey craftsmen, all are beautiful examples of immersive instruction. The students are enrolled in Chesapeake Semester, and this visit to Pamunkey provides a hands-on connection with the contemporary environmental ethics of Chesapeake native people. In just one stop on a two-week “journey” focusing on the Chesapeake’s preindustrial past, the students are headed to Annapolis next for an archaeologist-led tour of what remains of that town’s 18th-century maritime heyday.

Created by Washington College’s Center for Environment and Society, Chesapeake Semester immerses students in the complex history, ecology, and culture of the Chesapeake Bay. During their fall semester, Chesapeake Semester students explore the tributaries of the watershed—visiting working maritime communities, environmental scientists, historic sites, archaeologists and anthropologists, farms, forests, and fishermen—all to gain an understanding of the challenges confronting the Chesapeake and coastal communities around the world. The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum has been an active partner in Chesapeake Semester programming since 2009.

Originally a Chesapeake Semester orientation site, CBMM has expanded its role significantly over the last eight years. Today, CBMM staff tailor educational experiences throughout the semester to complement the Chesapeake Semester curriculum— experiences like Pamunkey pottery workshops, visits to oyster farms on Hooper’s Island, or conversations with working watermen. Each fall, CBMM staff instructors travel around the Bay with the students, delivering programs that emphasize the importance of the Chesapeake’s unique culture and sense of place.

“The idea of Chesapeake Semester was inspired by a collaboration between Mystic Seaport and Williams College,” reflects John Seidel, director of the Center for Environment and Society at Washington College.

“The Mystic program created a college course with a maritime focus, teaching students on the water, including maritime history and sailing. And we thought, we’ve got a great place to do that—plus we’ve got a world-class museum, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum—right down the road.”

Seidel’s ambition, through challenging humanities coursework and the partnership with CBMM, was to greatly expand on the Mystic model. Ultimately, this resulted in Chesapeake Semester. For Seidel, it was a no-brainer. “Really, how could you find a better laboratory than the Chesapeake Bay?” he muses.

“It introduces a level of political, social, and environmental complexity that is difficult to find anywhere else in the whole world, literally outside our back door.”

“The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum initially provided a thorough orientation to the Chesapeake Bay, an introduction to local watermen like Captain Wade Murphy, and a chance to get out on the water,” Seidel continues.

“Over the ensuing years, we have been able to capitalize on resources and staff at the Museum. CBMM Director of Education Kate Livie has been very active in helping us develop our program, opening doors to us in other parts of the community, like the Pamunkey Indian Reservation. Through our partnership, we’ve been able to select really powerful experiences, develop them, and enhance our curriculum more fully.”

Today, Chesapeake Semester stands as a national model for experiential, interdisciplinary college learning. Since 2009, more than 60 students have participated in the innovative program. Graduating with varied majors, from psychology and business to environmental science and education, Chesapeake Semester alumni use the realworld experiences, connections with diverse Chesapeake people, and environmental and societal questions posed by the program to enhance their understanding of the larger world. Kirstin A. Webb, Washington College Class of 2018, participated in the 2015 Chesapeake Semester session. An anthropology major, Webb feels that the course work's emphasis on stakeholder interactions and experiences across the humanities was a major takeaway from the program.

“I’ve grown up on the Chesapeake, but I gained a much deeper perspective of the anthropological importance of the Bay, and its environmental and biological aspects, too. It made me a much better learner—asking multidisciplinary questions in class and in the field—and gave me confidence to pursue other independent research.”

Webb’s classmate Emily Castle ’18, an environmental studies major, agrees. “I hadn’t declared my major before Chesapeake Semester, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to focus my interests. There was the adventure of it, but also the networking and internships that made it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

That opportunity provided direction for Castle, whose major was made clear after a semester spent exploring the Bay’s environment, people, and resources. Along the way, she also learned some life lessons. “Chesapeake Semester improved my adaptability and mental agility, making connections across disciplines, but taught me to focus and ask the right questions. I learned that stepping out of my comfort zone can be fun and painful, and you grow because of it.” The challenges of Chesapeake Semester are rich and meaningful: pushing the boundaries of comfort zones while meeting Bay stakeholders; foraging and sleeping in a tidewater woods; synthesizing history, literature, science, and biology in one final project; hiking in the jungle during a comparison study trip to Central America. The experiences shape every student who participates in the program. Graduates have interned with NOAA,

the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the Wyoming Fish and Game Department, the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center, the Midshore Riverkeepers Conservancy, and CBMM. Many of those internships have led to careers.

In 2014, after an internship with CBMM’s education department, Allison Speight, a 2014 Washington College graduate and 2012 Chesapeake Semester alumna, joined the CBMM staff. As the current volunteer and education coordinator, Speight puts lessons learned in the field with Chesapeake Semester into practice at CBMM.

“Chesapeake Semester includes all different facets of the Bay—economics, politics, biology, art—and I think they have really translated into my professional life,” she says. “I’m able to incorporate these different elements in my job here at CBMM, whether I’m leading education programs or using the people skills I learned in Chesapeake Semester. I work with the public every day, and I rely on that confidence and ability to connect with our visitors and volunteers that I gained in the program.”

For Speight and the many other graduates of Chesapeake Semester, it’s a journey from students in the Bay’s brackish ‘classroom’ to professionals whose work shapes the future of the Chesapeake’s science, education, policy, and fisheries in myriad meaningful ways—a journey that CBMM is proud to assist. Although, like Allison Speight, many of these newly minted stewards don’t see it quite that way.

For Speight, it’s much simpler. “I love what I’m doing, and I think Chesapeake Semester was a big part of that.”

Good Fortune (and hard work)

Keeps a Chesapeake Treasure Afloat

There are many reasons why the log-bottomed bugeye Edna E. Lockwood has survived well into her second century while all other boats of similar design and construction either were run up a creek to rot or simply vanished from the public record. She was built on Tilghman Island in 1889 by the famous boatbuilder John B. Harrison of massive, hand-hewn local pine logs and was well cared for most of her hard working life. But, then again, so were many of the hundreds of vessels of her era.

So why has Edna endured?

When plans to replace Edna’s log hull were discussed in a public forum this spring, Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Curator Pete Lesher shared his theory on her longevity with a room full of wooden boat experts and enthusiasts.

“Edna is just lucky.”

Time after time, when critical decisions were being made about the future of traditional Chesapeake sailing craft and workboats, Edna drew the long straw. Her ownership had passed frequently within the tight fraternity of Eastern Shore oystermen for almost eight decades when John R. Kimberly, an early CBMM supporter, took a shine to the old girl and bought her in 1966. Kimberly, a Wisconsin native who owned Carmichael Farm on the upper reaches of the Wye River, was chairman and CEO of the Kimberly-Clark Corporation and grandson of the founder of the international paper company. He used Edna to dredge for a few years and sailed her as a private yacht. He frequently loaned her to the fledgling maritime museum to be displayed alongside its flagship, the 1882 oyster sloop J. T. Leonard Newspaper society columnists of the day often made mention of Kimberly’s loan. In October 1968, an Annapolis Capital writer noted, “The dinner committee at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum finds itself in the enviable position of having to refuse reservations for tomorrow evening, the date of the first social event ever held in the museum in St. Michaels. Over 200 people from Annapolis, Philadelphia, Wilmington, New York, Baltimore, Washington and the Eastern Shore will converge on the historic town on the bay to enjoy cocktails in the museum buildings and dinner and dancing to the music of Peter Duchin and his orchestra under a harbor-side tent.”

The reporter went on to write that several dignitaries would arrive by yacht: “John Kimberly, whose Edna E. Lockwood, a fully rigged sailable bugeye, is on temporary loan to the museum, will also be on hand.”

Still, Edna was just a visitor at CBMM’s bulkhead; J. T. Leonard was the main showboat. She had arrived at CBMM even before the Hooper Strait Lighthouse was transported to its new home at the end of Navy Point. The round-bottomed topsail sloop, built in 1882 on James Island in southern Dorchester County by Moses H. Geoghegan, was the oldest of her kind still afloat. She attracted gifts and grants from wealthy donors and, in those early years, gave CBMM cachet with more established institutions. Plus, she was pretty. Her rounded, “apple-cheeked” bows gave her a gentler look than did the sharp angles of the more common skipjacks and bugeyes.

Her looks also drew the admiration of one of CBMM’s founding powerhouses, Vida Van Lennep. In a 1967 note of thanks to a donor who had sent an additional $50 holiday check for the care of Leonard, she wrote, “What a nice New Year present for the ‘LEONARD’! As she is my particular love, I am very happy to add your contribution

to her upkeep fund, where it is very much appreciated.” A keg placed strategically to attract spontaneous donations to Leonard routinely filled with the loose change and spare dollar bills of early visitors. Local school kids raised money to help maintain her.

Leonard had a lineage equally as fine as Edna’s. She was a plankon-frame boat with lines that had been carried to the New World by skilled European craftsmen centuries before. Geoghegan built several similar vessels, including Rebecca T. Ruark, which still sails out of Dogwood Harbor on Tilghman. Leonard’s sloop rig even predated the simpler skipjack rig. Its bigger main and topsail, while harder to handle than a skipjack’s, gave the boat more power while towing oyster dredges. They also supplied the captain with more speed and maneuverability in light air.

In the 1880s, there were a dozen homes and a general store on James Island. The storekeeper, James T. Leonard, was one of three local men who commissioned Geoghegan to build their sloop. The island was abandoned and is now little more than a few clumps of trees clinging to what is left of the high ground. The houses and store have long faded from memory. Geoghegan himself died in 1920 and is buried in Bethlehem Churchyard on Taylors Island.

her pumps failed. In the early 1970s, CBMM’s first director, R. J. Holt, began hearing from his crew that Leonard was failing and began his efforts to convince Jack Kimberly to donate his Edna to the floating fleet. In 1973, Kimberly signed her over for $2 and, once again, the old bugeye’s luck kicked into high gear.

Richard Scofield, CBMM’s assistant curator for watercraft, says Joe Liener, the retired general superintendent of the Philadelphia Navy Yard’s Small Boat Shop, was a volunteer and consultant at CBMM back in those days.

“He was the one who talked to Mr. Holt at the time. We had both the J. T. Leonard and the Edna Lockwood, and both were historically significant, but Edna was the only log-hulled sailing bugeye still in existence, and she was in better shape. The J. T. Leonard was really dry, so the decision was made that CBMM would put its limited resources to restoring the Lockwood.”

Holt looked at the finances and knew Liener was right. One estimate stated that Edna could be repaired and ready to sail for about $30,000, but it would cost more than $100,000 to rebuild Leonard. Holt was known as a man who got things done—as long as they were in the budget and CBMM did not incur debt. He also knew he worked for the Board and did not want to make an executive decision on such an emotional issue.

fleet, conducted a survey of Leonard. They determined that the sloop could not be saved, short of a total rebuild. Nationally recognized experts from other maritime museums, including Mystic Seaport and the Smithsonian Institution, weighed in and supported their findings.

“From your description of the old hooker, you might as well consider jacking up her mast caps and running a new vessel under them,” wrote Melvin H. Jackson, the Smithsonian’s curator of marine transportation. Captain Jim Richardson, a renowned Dorchester County boatbuilder, concurred: “The Leonard’s condition has been known for years. If she had been safe to work, she would have done so. A new replica of the Leonard would be much cheaper than any other approach.”

Oxford marine engineer and CBMM supporter Ralph Wiley was even more forceful in his evaluation of Leonard’s future: “Haul her out, salvage as much of her gear as may be useful, and have a nice formal cremation ceremony on the museum grounds. The sooner you adopt this policy, the sooner you will be rid of this headache. As to the Edna Lockwood, every effort should be made to save this vessel, for she is a pure native Chesapeake type.”

The loss of Leonard, however, was not an easy sell to Vida Van Lennep and her equally influential husband, Gus. At a July 1974 Board meeting, “Mrs. Van Lennep expressed the importance of the Leonard to the museum. Mrs. Van Lennep stated the Leonard is to CBMM as the historic whaling ship Charles W. Morgan is to Mystic. She read from a publication for Mystic concerning the rebuilding of the Morgan.” Her husband introduced a motion at the meeting to find a new home where Leonard would be rebuilt. Both Vida’s plea and Gus’ suggestion were voted down, and Leonard’s fate was sealed.

But Edna has continued her lucky streak. After a lengthy search, a stand of 130-year-old loblolly pines was discovered on private land near Machipongo on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. They were large enough to be formed into replacements, and the logs’ owner, Paul M. Jones Lumber Company of Snow Hill, Md., donated them to CBMM.

Starting this fall, CBMM shipwrights, headed by Michael Gorman and Joe Connor, will begin shaping those logs into Edna’s new bottom in a two-year rebuilding project that will keep her sailing for another generation.

J. T. Leonard oystered right up to the time CBMM acquired her for $8,000 in 1966. According to records, she was in “fair” shape then, but it is clear that despite all the love she received in those early years, her design intricacies worked against her toward the end. She was rotting everywhere, and the small CBMM staff worried constantly that she would sink at the dock if

Correspondence and minutes of Board meetings show that he worked behind the scenes to set the stage for switching allegiances from Leonard to Edna. At Holt’s suggestion, the Board decided to get outside opinions on the viability of the two vessels. Liener and Dick Howell, who was then managing the early floating

In March 1976, Holt wrote that a Maryland Department of Natural Resources official had finally agreed to the demolition of Leonard “just as soon as he gets the permit to deposit the remains of the Leonard in the county or town landfill.” Later that year, work began to rebuild Edna E. Lockwood from her nine logs up.

Forty years later, Edna herself was sinking at the dock and had to be pulled onto the marine railway before she went down. Her original logs, the ones taken from a Tilghman Island forest in 1889, were finally giving out.

CBMM President Kristen Greenaway says the project will be completed in late 2018, and then Edna will begin a six-month cruise as a floating heritage classroom. She will sail into ports large and small as the queen of CBMM’s floating fleet. And, with some luck, everyone who sees her crisp new sails drawing nicely on the wind will glimpse the rich history and wonders of the Chesapeake Bay.

As for J. T. Leonard, her memory survives on CBMM’s campus. Her trailboards are mounted in the Bay History Exhibit, her spars hang from the Boatshop beams, and her anchor has come to rest not far from the construction site where her arch rival, Edna E. Lockwood, is still showing off her good fortune.

On Wednesday, May 4, 2016, the historic 1889 log bottom bugeye Edna E. Lockwood was removed from the marine railway by Aerial Crane Inc. and placed on the hard in preparation of the historic restoration of her nine-log hull. Come see the queen of the fleet and the logs that will replace her hull at CBMM. Learn more at ednalockwood.org.

Boatyard Program Manager Jenn Kuhn reports the stern hoops on CBMM’s 25’ Hooper Island Draketail Pintail took the boatshop’s Apprentice for a Day program longer than anticipated.

Pintail’s reverse raked round transom presenting some challenges, taking participants a bit longer to figure exactly how all the components and bevels were to be aligned. She has a white oak keel and framing with Atlantic white cedar planking. Her stern has traditional barrel staving and beadand-cove strip-planked top sides. She is glued with G-flex, fastened with silicone bronze screws, and has a cross-planked herringbone bottom.

Pintail’s expected date of completion is at the end of summer, with the installation of the four-stroke, vertical cooled Yanmar diesel to follow. She will have a wet exhaust with traditional push-pull rope cable steering. See more photos of the project at bit.ly/CBMMPintail.

OysterFest is October 29 at CBMM

On Saturday, October 29, CBMM will host OysterFest, a celebration of the Chesapeake’s favorite bivalve. The annual favorite features live music on two stages, an oyster stew competition, boat rides, retriever demonstrations, oysters and other local fare, cooking demonstrations, children’s activities, oystering demonstrations, harvesting displays, and more. The Swamp Donkeys, a high-energy newgrass band with a twist of rock, will return to this year’s Oyster Fest, playing live from the Tolchester Beach Bandstand. Performing on a second stage along Fogg’s Cove will be the melodic Kent Island-based trio Key Lime Pie, performing “barefoot-guitar” pop from 10am-4pm.

In addition to CBMM’s floating fleet of historic vessels, several commercial watermen and their boats will be dockside to share the Bay’s oyster dredging and hand tonging traditions. Limited boat rides with Chesapeake watermen with oyster tonging demonstrations will also be offered.

Local watermen will serve freshly caught and shucked Chesapeake Bay wild oysters, served steamed or raw on the half shell. Aquaculture raw oysters, oyster fritters, and fried oyster sandwiches will also be available.

For those who celebrate oysters rather than eat them, pit beef, hot dogs, hamburgers, and other seafood selections, along with cold beer, warm apple cider, and more will be offered. Fordham Brewing Company’s Rosie Parks Oyster Stout—made in honor of CBMM’s 1955 skipjack Rosie Parks—will be served along with Budweiser and other craft beers. Local restaurants will perform cooking demonstrations of signature oyster dishes throughout the day, and oyster slurping contests offered each hour from 1-3pm will award bragging rights and prizes to the winners.

Beginning at 11am along Fogg’s Cove, festival-goers can vote for their favorite oyster stew in a competition among local restaurants and chefs. Participation is limited to a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last, with a commemorative OysterFest mug and tastings offered for $10. The blind taste test awards bragging rights to the chef with the most votes, with the People’s Choice winner announced at the festival and later to the public.

OysterFest will offer family activities aplenty, with river cruises aboard Winnie Estelle, an oversized oyster puzzle game, an oyster nursery, net-making and knot-tying demonstrations, a scavenger hunt, and face painting. Children can also build a take-home model boat for $3.

The Chesapeake Bay Retriever Relief & Rescue club will present retriever demonstrations on Navy Point.

Phillips Wharf Environmental Center’s Fishmobile will offer the opportunity to see live sturgeon, diamondback terrapins, horseshoe crabs, and other native creatures, and other conservation organizations will be on hand to discuss efforts to clean and preserve the Bay.

Festival-goers may also explore CBMM’s exhibitions, including Oystering on the Chesapeake and Waterman’s Wharf, where guests can try tonging or nippering for oysters. Several boats historically used in the oystering industry will be displayed, including CBMM’s 1889 log-bottomed bugeye and registered National Historic Landmark Edna E. Lockwood, the 1955 skipjack Rosie Parks, and 1920 buyboat Winnie Estelle, among other Chesapeake Bay buyboats visiting for the festival.

Admission to OysterFest is $5 per person for CBMM members, or $18 for adults, $15 for seniors and students with ID, and $6 for children 6–17. CBMM members at the Family & Friends level and above also receive $5

discounted admission for two adult guests. Food, drinks, and boat rides are an additional cost, with carry-on alcohol prohibited.

For safety reasons, non-service dogs should be kept home during CBMM festivals, as leashed dogs are permitted only during regular operating hours. Proceeds from the event support CBMM’s education, restoration, and exhibition programs. Visit cbmm.org/oysterfest or call 410-745-2916 for more information.

12th Annual Chesapeake Bay Buyboat Reunion

Thursday, August 11 through Sunday, August 14

9am-5pm. Free with paid CBMM admission and free with purchase of tickets to Watermen’s Day on August 14.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see and board a collection of historic buyboats from around the Mid-Atlantic region along CBMM’s docks and waterways. The 12th annual reunion tour will start in Tangier Island at Parks Marina on August 3, 2016.

These unique craft were used to haul seafood and cargo along the Chesapeake Bay’s waterways before many of the peninsulas were connected by bridges. As the seafood harvest declined and highways became the mode of travel the large graceful buyboats faded from local waters. Today, no more than 30 of the oyster buyboats remain on the Bay.

Buyboats scheduled to be at CBMM include F.D Crockett, Nellie Crockett, Thomas J., Prop Wash, East Hampton, 55th Virginia, Iva W., Old Point, and Winnie Estelle. The Chesapeake Bay Buyboat Association comprises of owners and people who share the love of these big boats. They maintain and operate the remaining buyboats at their own expense, and the owners bring their boats to ports around the Bay each summer so that the public can stand on their decks, touch them, and understand their importance in history.

Proceeds from the Boat Auction benefit the children and adults served by CBMM. The live auction begins at 11am, where more than 100 boats—ranging in size and performance from sailing dinghies to cabin cruisers, and everything in between—will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. The event also includes a flea market-style tag sale from 9-11am, when visitors can purchase a variety of used boating gear, including ground tackle, electrical equipment, hardware, rope or chain, ladders, fishing tackle, motors, and more.

Boat sales are ongoing throughout the year, with all auction boats subject to sale prior to the auction. Auction boats will be available for inspection at CBMM several days prior to the auction.

Annual Report

2015-2016

A Message from the Board

byJamesP.Harris, 2016-2017Chair

The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s new fiscal year is off to a great start. Let me pause to thank Richard Tilghman, who served as chairman for the past two years. During that time, we’ve seen enthusiasm for CBMM grow tremendously with Kristen Greenaway at the helm. Richard’s lasting contribution is the skillful mentoring of our new president as she assumed her role at a pivotal time in CBMM’s 50-year history.

One cannot miss the heightened activity on campus over the past two years. Much-needed painting and facilities refurbishment have made CBMM sparkle, with a prioritized list of improvements still to be addressed. We celebrated our 50th anniversary last May, have rolled out new exhibitions, and begun restoration of the historic Edna E. Lockwood

Approved in early 2014, the Strategic Plan has charted our course and continues to provide a strong foundation to secure CBMM’s future. New emphasis has been placed on revenue enhancements. This, coupled with vigilance regarding expenses, resulted in the seventh straight year of positive operating results in FY15–16. Our operating fund’s cumulative account is now positive, resulting in a stronger endowment and the establishment of operating reserves.

As we look to the future, CBMM is focused on selective capital investments and grow ing our endowment. We must fully fund the exciting restoration of Edna, creating the same kind of “buzz” and appeal as Rosie Parks’ restoration did. Several important building investment projects are being considered that could help make a visit to CBMM more meaningful; moving forward, of course, is contingent on successful fundraising. We must also double the size of CBMM’s endowment. While traditional fundraising is one way to do this, a new emphasis is being placed on planned giving to encourage including CBMM in a family’s estate plan. Look for more information about how we will implement this new program.

One of the most exciting areas of growth is the commitment to educating our youth. As noted in the Strategic Plan: “…the museum creates experiences that physically, intellectually and emotionally connect visitors to the Chesapeake Bay.” Annually, 3,500 students visit CBMM as part of their K–12 school programs. They learn about the economics of the crabbing industry, the ecology of the Bay, wooden boatbuilding, and how to preserve the rich heritage of the Bay. We seek to expand our impact by doubling this to 7,000 students and have invested in curriculum improvement and outreach to other school districts. CBMM has partnered with the YMCA of the Chesapeake to launch the Rising Tide After-School Program, which provides middle school students in Talbot County the opportunity to learn woodworking and boatbuilding. These students also have the opportunity for real on-the-water experiences. Expanded education programming is fundamental to securing CBMM’s future and fulfilling our mission. None of this would be possible without your support. On behalf of our board and staff, let me thank you—whether you are members, sponsors, donors, and/or volunteers— for being such an important part of CBMM’s impact on our guests, students, and community.

Trappe, Md.

On June 16, 2016, CBMM recognized a dedicated team of more than 300 volunteers aboard the Patriot for their combined 27,027 hours of service over the last year. Several volunteers were recognized by CBMM for their work in boat restoration and maintenance, boat donations, buildings and grounds, education, exhibitions, Museum Store, and volunteer programming. The river cruise reception was generously sponsored by Patriot Cruises of St. Michaels, Md., and Garden & Garnish of Trappe, Md.

Special recognition was given to volunteers with the highest hours of cumulative service, including John Hawkinson with 9,000 hours; Paul Ray and Mary Sue Traynelis with 6,000 hours; Ann Sweeney and Roger Galvin with 4,000 hours; Sam Barnett and Mike Corliss with 3,000 hours; and Bob Traynelis and Audrey Brown with 2,000 hours.

Many other volunteers were recognized for reaching milestones of 100 hours and above in their volunteer service for CBMM.

“The engagement and service from our volunteers is such an extraordinary part of what makes CBMM a very special place to visit,” says CBMM President Kristen Greenaway. “The effort our volunteers put forth each and every day to ensure a great experience for our guests is quite remarkable.”

CBMM is always looking for volunteers to help throughout various areas of its operations, including front desk assistants, interpretive educators, festival helpers, buildings and grounds assistants, and more. For more information, contact CBMM Volunteer & Education Coordinator Allison Speight at aspeight@cbmm.org or 410-745-4941.

Volunteers reaching milestones in hours of service were also recognized at the reception, generously sponsored by Patriot Cruises in St. Michaels, Md., and Garden & Garnish of
