1910 Chesapeake Bay Skipjack

Description

The E.C. Collier, a 1910 Chesapeake Bay Skipjack.


The skipjack is a traditional fishing boat used on the Chesapeake Bay for oyster dredging. It is a sailboat which succeeded the bugeye as the chief oystering boat on the bay, and it remains in service due to laws restricting the use of powerboats in the Maryland state oyster fishery.
