Inspire, educate, preserve, and belong––these four words have graced the front of our past three annual reports and serve as continuous reminders of why we are here, and why this place matters. By inspiring and educating the next generation, preserving the legacies and artifacts that define the Chesapeake region, and fostering a sense of belonging and responsibility, we encourage people to be stewards of the Chesapeake Bay. We continue to be humbled by the out-pouring of support from you, our members and donors, and remain deeply committed to ensuring your charitable donations are put to good use.

For this 2011-2012 annual report, you’ll find stories of people like you who care deeply about this place and are supporters of the Museum. You’ll also find financial information, our honor roll of donors, and a chance to look ahead at what the Museum is offering in the coming months. You can expect to receive your next issue of The Chesapeake Log in February.

Between May 2011 and April 2012 (FY 2011-2012), the Museum continued to build membership and increase attendance. Your gifts to the 2011-2012 Annual Fund set yet another all time record and allowed us to expand programs, open new and engaging exhibits, and make much needed improvements to campus. Two highlights made possible by your support were the opening of our newest exhibits, Gunning Among Friends: Chesapeake Waterfowl Hunting Clubs, and Push and Pull: Life on Chesapeake Bay Tugboats.

With transportation a large part of the Chesapeake story, the Tug exhibit is regarded as the most in-depth exhibit on Chesapeake tugs in existence. Far beyond the high level of interest created, the exhibit is exemplary of the authenticity this Museum brings to all its exhibits, boat restoration, and educational programs. With your help, the Museum has

carved out a special niche and serves as a model for what visitors want––original research and first-hand accounts that can be found nowhere else. What’s compelling about the stories we tell is not just the content of the Museum’s collections, it's more the context of how they fit into our history and our lives that make them relevant and important. This would be impossible without your continued support.

Our year was marked by growing audiences and member engagement for both our signature events and special programming. The restoration of the skipjack Rosie Parks con-tinues to draw visitors, and has reunited four generations of Parks family members at our

annual OysterFest. The tug Delaware celebrated her centennial with a full restoration and made her debut at the opening of the Tug exhibit. Our educational programs continue to grow and expand for both children and adults, with a new Oystering Legacy Tour, revitalized Lighthouse Overnight Adventure program, Speaker Series, and more. With the help of grants and philanthropic support, Navy Point received some much needed attention with a new bulkhead, upgraded marina services, and a new irrigation system and sod.

A special thanks to the dedicated corps of volunteers who in FY 2011-2012 donated a combined total of 28,200 hours of service to the Museum—the equivalent of nearly 15 full-time employees. With their help, a native harbor garden was planted in front of our three historic houses at the entry to the Museum, to hold back high tides and protect the lawn.

The Museum is fortunate that membership dues and admission receipts cover a higher percentage of expenses than most of our peers. Yet, combined, they support less than a third of the Museum’s annual operating budget. We are fortunate to be awarded government grants for some of our projects, and even more so, for the philanthropic individuals, organiza-tions, and foundations that love the Chesapeake Bay and support our work.

With your continued support, the Museum faces a strong future as we inspire, educate, preserve, and build a sense of belonging to the Chesapeake region. Future generations are counting on us. For all you do, for all you’ve done, and for all you will do, we sincerely thank you.

The Museum welcomed new officers and seven new members to its board of governors during its June 20, 2011 annual meeting.

Captain Mike reagosoPasadena, MarylandMuseum Supporter since 1988

Growing up, Mike Reagoso recalls family vacations in St. Michaels, highlighted by visits to the Museum. The Museum made such an impression on him that as an adult, he proposed to his girlfriend in the Hooper Strait Lighthouse, where they later married in 2000. Now with four children, Mike and his wife Susan appreciate the Museum as a place that inspires and captivates the attention of both kids and adults, educating them on the rich history of the Chesapeake Bay. His company, McAllister Towing, is also a sponsor of the recently opened Push and Pull: Life on Chesapeake Bay Tugboats exhibit.

“Any place that inspires kids to learn while having fun is a great place in our book, and the Museum does a great job of this. From the Mister Jim to boatbuilding, to all of the wonderful static and changing exhibits, the Museum has something for everyone of every age, and what a wonder-ful cause to support. When I was first approached to support the Tug exhibit, I was thrilled to see that others had taken an interest in the industry where I make my living. To see an opportunity for others to learn about something I am so passionate about was tremendous.”

“With the Museum being so much a part of my life since i was a child, the opportunity to support it and promote the tug and barge industry at the same time was an easy decision. everything i have seen the Museum do has been first class, so if you are passionate about the Chesapeake Bay and want to support a good cause, this is the one.”

–Captain Mike reagoso, Vice president of Mid-atlantic operations for Mcallister towing

honorable John C. north iiSt. Michaels, MarylandMuseum Supporter since 1965

The Museum exists today, in large part, because of a small group of dedicated individuals, who were determined to create a place where Chesapeake history could be pre-served and celebrated. Judge John C. North II is one of those individuals, serving on the original board of governors, and as counsel negotiating the purchase of much of the Museum’s property. He served as its first vice president, later its president, and drafted the original articles of incorporation of the Museum in 1968.

“My great-grandfather was William Sidney Covington, who built the famous log canoes Island Bird and Island Blossom, which we are fortunate enough to own. The Museum has been a very important part of my life and my family’s life because so much of my family’s heritage is represented in the Museum’s exhibits. It is, by all odds, the most impor-tant institution of its kind to the entire North family and we are delighted to continue to endorse and support it to the fullest extent.”

“The Museum is the repository for historical artifacts and memories of the Chesapeake Bay. There are other museums on the Bay, of specialized interest, but only this Museum incorporates in its vision the necessity of maintaining the Bay’s history and significance on a very broad scale. it is of paramount importance to those of us concerned with the vitality and culture of this area to take an interest in this wonderful Museum that has developed over the years to a degree far, far in excess of what i personally envisioned those many years ago.”

–Judge John C. north ii

irénée du pont Jr.Wilmington, DelawareMuseum Supporter since 1965

Irénée du Pont Jr.’s ties with the Museum and the Chesapeake Bay run deep. His first memories of this area date back to 1937 at the Miles River Yacht Club Regatta. At age 17, he and a friend sailed around the harbor in St. Michaels, tying up at Navy Point and watching all the events. Years later, Irénée met Bronza Parks, who built the Barbara Batchelder for him and his wife Barbara, the skipjack's namesake, in 1955.

“I only knew Bronzie for the last two years of his life, but he was one of those people who was gifted with the ability to make everybody feel like they were Bronzie Parks’ best friend. Everybody he met, he made them feel that way. After our boat was built, my wife and I began making regular trips to St. Michaels, and then to the Museum when it was created in the 1960s. The Museum is a real gem of a resource on the Chesapeake Bay. I look at all of the good works it's been doing with programs, exhibits, and outreach to the community, and I’m impressed.”

“if you’re a stranger to this region of the

world, or you want an introduction to the

Chesapeake Bay, then the Museum is a

good place to start. What they’re doing,

and not just with restoring the Rosie

Parks, but really, restoring Bronzie’s

legacy, and the legacy of his family, well

it’s an important part of why people

should support and care about the work

that is done here.” –irénée du pont Jr.

Susan and Mike reagoso were married on the Tolchester Beach Bandstand in 2000, and now enjoy bringing their four children to the Museum.

Carol & Bill MayHutchison Island, FloridaMuseum Supporters since 1992

Bill and Carol May have sailed up and down the East Coast, from Florida to Lake Ontario, their summer homeport, for many years. In 1987, after showing their boat in the Annapolis Sailboat Show, they de-cided to visit St. Michaels, and they have made the town a regular sojourn during their travels ever since. In the beginning, their interest in the Museum was as an inexpensive place to tie up the boat, but over the years, the Museum began to play an increasingly important role in their lives.

“It’s a magical spot, and we’ve been going north and south for years and years, and we’ve spent a lot of time on the Chesapeake. The Museum has impacted our life quite a bit—we got to know some of the people at the Museum very well, and have become friends. It’s an integral part of St. Michaels, which we think is a wonderful little town.”

“The Museum is important in preserving

history and teaching others about the

Chesapeake Bay. And what the Museum

is doing, not only for history, but really,

indirectly at least, is to make people very

aware of the importance of saving the Bay.”

–Bill May

ellen & norm plummerChestertown, MarylandMuseum Supporters since 1967

Ellen and Norm Plummer have long shared an interest in yachting, boating, and all things maritime, which led them to join the Museum. They visited St. Michaels regularly from Washington, DC, and after retiring in 1988 became loyal, longstanding volunteers. They play a pivotal role in researching informa-tion and photos for various Museum publications, books, and exhibits. Norm wrote three books and several Weather Gauge articles, and Ellen spent countless hours on photo-graphic research, most notably for the “Oystering on the Chesapeake” exhibit, and the much-loved cookbook, From a Lighthouse Window.

“i became interested in the Museum because i believe in history; this is local history, but it’s also a part of our national history. i think the more people know about our history, the better off we’ll be. And not just big events, but what the ordinary people did, and how they lived.”

–Ellen Plummer

“The Museum matters to me because it’s an important institution for the Chesapeake region and it is doing everything it can to keep alive the history of the Chesapeake and particularly the history that’s connected to the watermen and all of the things that watermen do, like crabbing and oystering, and so forth.”

–Norm Plummer

Clark JohnsonWorton, MarylandMuseum Supporter since 2010

Clark Johnson and his wife Karen purchased their boat in 1996 and one of the very first trips they ever took was to St. Michaels. They loved the town and their kids always had a fun time at the Museum. They continued to visit St. Michaels over the years and recently came back for OysterFest.

“The time that really made an impression on me was about two years ago. We were with another couple and it was really bad weather and I was on the boat, which was anchored out a ways, and my wife Karen was caught on the shore and I couldn’t hear them, I didn’t have the radios on or anything.

Karen is a diabetic and she had to get back to the boat and one of the shipwrights at the Museum offered to take her back to the boat. I came back to the shore soon after and joined the Museum, and this shipwright was just a very nice person, and we were impressed that there are still people in the world like that.”

“A little bit after that, i started contributing

monthly and i have ever since. We support

the Museum because it’s just a really nice

thing to do and especially if you live in

Maryland, you should support the Museum.

it’s the heritage of Maryland. it’s the

heritage of the eastern Shore, and there

is just no other place like it.”–Clark Johnson

Clark recently claimed his prize in the Museum's Boating Party fundraiser cannon raffle, saying “Truly i have only once in my life won a lottery pick. it was in 1966 when my local draft board picked me as a lucky winner for the position in the uS Army. i was in the artillery units, so i know what a cannon is all about!”

ellen & Norm Plummer

We extend our sincere appreciation to our donors for their gifts during last year’s fiscal year (May 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012), including donations to the Museum’s Annual Fund, the tax-deductible portion of the Boating Party Fundraising Gala, contributions for capital or special programs, lifetime memberships, and gifts to the Museum’s endowment funds. We simply couldn’t do what we do without your generous support. Please consider donating to our 2012-2013 Annual Fund using the envelope found on page 12. Thank you!

in this image from the Tug exhibit, a harbor pilot launch idles beside the MSC rachele, allowing the bay pilot to disembark as the tug Surrie Moran approaches.

Captain Berg's stories, and others, of life aboard a tugboat are featured in

“push and pull: life on Chesapeake Bay tugboats” which opened on april 21,

2012. the Chesapeake is a highway for tugs and barges, and for the large ships

aided by tugs in port. this exhibit explores the lives of the men and women

who work on these tugboats and the variety of ways tugs are used around

the Chesapeake. in addition to interactive displays along with the images and

stories of life on tugboats, the exhibit includes a large, compound steam engine

salvaged from the 1924 C&o railroad tug, W. J. Harahan. Visitors to the exhibit

gain historical perspective on what has changed in the world of tugboats on

the Bay since their first arrival, and meet some of the captains and crew who

work—and sometimes live—aboard these hard-working boats. to gather the

stories of these men and women, Museum Folklorist Michelle Zacks went aboard

tugs, photographed their work, collected photographs from some of the crews,

and conducted a series of oral history interviews all around the Bay. the exhibit

continues through 2014.

Museum Folklorist Michelle Zacks introduces the tugboat captains and crew featured in the Tug exhibit at the opening reception on April 20.

“Gunning among Friends: Chesapeake Waterfowl hunting Clubs” opened

on april 14, 2012. Banding together for a day’s hunting is a longtime

practice among those hunting waterfowl for sport. and when the duck

blind is too far from home, remote clubhouses near the marshy shorelines

have provided a home away from home. Whether populated by wealthy

hunters from another state or working class friends from closer by,

waterfowling clubs have formed along the Chesapeake Bay from the

susquehanna Flats in the north to the saltwater marshes along the lower

eastern shore since the early 19th century. this exhibit, which examined

these clubs and featured historic photos, documents, decoys, and

other gunning accoutrements, closed in november, 2012.

A group shot of Parks family members, and generous donors to the Skipjack rosie Parks project, including Maxine and Bill Millar and Ginger Martus at the 2011 oysterFest.

(left) Mary Parks Harding, Joyce Parks Wiley, and Theodore Cephus stand with an actual life-size cut-out of Bronza Parks. (right) Captain orville Parks' descendents stand near the rosie at the 2011 oysterFest.

Fifty-seven members of the parks family, spanning four generations, came to the

2011 oysterFest to celebrate the restoration of the skipjack Rosie Parks. together

with Museum staff and donors to the restoration project, the family reconnected

and shared memories of Rosie’s builder Bronza parks, and his brother Captain orville

parks. some of the tools used to build Rosie were donated to the Museum and local

Chesapeake artist Marc Castelli gave sketches of Rosie to family members.

pam and Dennis pitt, of hurlock, Maryland, are two of the newest members of

the Museum's perpetual Mariner society, which recognizes supporters who

have included the Museum in their estate plans. the pitts have a special love of

the Museum's floating fleet, and one vessel in particular, the 1889 nine-log

bugeye Edna E. Lockwood. pam's father, reginald D. “raggy” todd, was

Edna's skipper from 1948 until the late 1950s.

“From the bottom of my heart, i sincerely

appreciate everything that y'all do to preserve

the working ways of the Chesapeake. i wish i

understood how much i was getting as a kid

in the 60s/70s by being exposed to the real

men of the Bay. i didn't—and like many

others, looked hard for my way out.

the Museum helps us and everyone else

realize how important and influential

something as simple as catchin' crabs and

oysters are to our regional heritage. y'all are

doin' good—and i hope that i can contribute

to your collective success.

Thank you—you've given us back a part

of ourselves that i suspect we didn't

know we'd almost lost.”

-Ray Kimbro, grandson of Bronza Parks

Delaware, after her completed restoration in April, 2012, docked along Fogg's Cove during the opening of the new Push and Pull: Life on Chesapeake Bay Tugboats exhibit.

Delaware, circa 1925, in Laurel, Delaware.

Vessel Maintenance Manager Michael Gorman, along with the help of volunteers and other boatyard staff remove a piece of wood from the steamer to attach to Delaware.

in recognition of her centennial, the tug Delaware was hauled out of the water in early september, 2011. shipwrights, with the help of boatyard volunteers, used a combination of historic photographs and oral histories taken from those who've worked on Delaware, to restore her to the authentic appearance from her heyday. Delaware is a rare example of a typical early 20th century wooden river tug. Built in 1912 in Bethel, Delaware, by William h. smith, the tug Delaware measures 39’8” x 11’4”. Delaware is the product of Bethel’s great age of wooden ship and boatbuilding and apart from the 1900 ram schooner Victory Chimes (formerly edwin and Maud), she may be the only survivor.

Michael Gorman and Brigitte and David Phillips of Lancaster PA, hold a section of the old floor of the tug Delaware. David is the great-grandson of Delaware’s builder William H. Smith.

the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is extremely lucky to have a dedicated corps of more than 200 volunteers, who donated a combined 28,220 hours of service to the Museum over the last year, the equivalent of nearly 15 full-time employees. Volunteer effort and dedication brought this Museum into existence and has helped shape the mission that still guides us. the Museum could not function without our cadre of volunteers to work alongside staff throughout the institution—as docents, cataloguers, receptionists, boatbuilders, gardeners, store assistants, model makers, and more. If you are interested in volunteering, contact Director of Events & Volunteer Programs Melissa Spielman at 410-745-4956.

Not all old Chesapeake houses are on land, plenty are also on (or over) the water. Bay lighthouses are some of the Bay’s most treasured but also most endangered "old houses." In this program, join Anne Arundel County’s Cultural Resource Planner Jane Cox as she talks about her career preserving some of the Chesapeake’s most iconic lighthouses, and her current efforts as a private owner to restore the Baltimore Lighthouse, one load of ferried-in supplies at a time.

thursday, january 3110am, Van Lennep Auditorium

Author and photographer Shirley Hampton Hunt will explore through story and pictures the process of writing and photographing images for her book, The Vanishing Landscape, which documents the history and collapse of abandoned old houses on the Eastern Shore, their relation-ship to a changing environment, and a population balancing the legacy of the past with the promise of the future.

tuesday, february 51pm, Van Lennep Auditorium

Elizabeth Beckley of Preservation Maryland will discuss her career as a historical restorer, old house aficionado, owner, and preservationist. With a professional and personal life spent in, on, and under old Chesapeake houses, Beckley’s talk will be illustrated by the lively stories and photos of her restoration adventures.

Maryland Humanities Council Grant awarded to CBMM for “Community Conversations”

The Museum received a $6,300 grant from the Maryland Humanities Council for seed money to fund an innovative initiative focusing on "Community Conversations." The first series, entitled "State of the oyster," will focus on the status of the fisheries and their past, present, and future significance to Chesapeake Bay communities. Scheduled for four Sunday afternoons in late winter 2013, the programs will pose the question of whether, and how, oyster production can continue as the backbone of the region's culture and economy.

Biological dimensions of the “oyster question” will be addressed, but the primary focus will be on cultural and social dynamics of the issue. one of the most significant goals of this project is to host public forums where stakeholders possessing different, and in some cases, conflicting perspectives can have meaningful conversations, promoting open and civil dialogue about topics important to the community as a whole. Dates to be announced in the upcoming Winter/Spring edition of The Chesapeake Log, and to be available on our website, cbmm.org. For information, contact Director of the Center for Chesapeake Studies, Robert Forloney at 410-745-4959 or email rforloney@cbmm.org.
