Description
This is a classic boat dredging for oysters on the Chesapeake Bay. A lost art and one of only about a dozen boats of this type left. At one time there were hundreds of these craft working the oyster beds of the bay. Today, the oysters are virtually gone and there are not enough people familiar with sailing these boats to make it a viable industry. This particular boat is well over a hundred years old.
