MissionThe mission of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is to inspire an understanding

of and appreciation for the rich maritime heritage of the Chesapeake Bay and its

tidal reaches, together with the artifacts, cultures, and connections between this

place and its people.

VisionThe vision of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is to be the premier

maritime museum for studying, exhibiting, preserving, and celebrating

the important history and culture of the largest estuary in the

United States, the Chesapeake Bay.

• We will be acknowledged as the leading center for education,exhibition, and preservation of Chesapeake Bay maritime cultures.

• We will inspire cultural stewardship by preserving, documenting, and sharing stories, artifacts, skills, and the traditions of the generations of people who have lived and worked in the Chesapeake Bay region.

• We will emphasize how the connections between people and the Bay’s natural environment have shaped unique, traditional cultures.

• We will provide opportunities for visitors to make connections between past human activities, present conditions, and future possibilities.

The front cover of this annual report is fitting, as the Museum’s 2010-2011 fiscal year was truly a cause for celebration. Just one year into the implementation of our new five-year plan and the Museum has hit the ground running.

Attendance and membership levels first stabilized and then began what looks to be the start of a steady rise—proof that membership and marketing initiatives are bearing fruit. We are over 5,000 members strong and growing almost every month. Your gifts to the 2010-2011 Annual Fund set an all-time record for the second consecutive year in the Museum’s 46-year history, a reflection of how important this institution is to people like you.

Our Museum is fortunate to have membership dues and admissions receipts cover a higher percentage of our expenses than most of our peers, yet, combined, these two revenue streams support barely a third of the Museum’s annual operating budget. With government grants virtually non-existent in this economy, charitable gifts from our more than 1,000 generous donors are the mainstay supporting the Museum’s mission, and this will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.

Between May 2010 and April 2011, our year was marked by new events, new projects, new people, and expanded programs, all of which contribute to a powerful sense of revitalization. The Museum welcomed four new exhibits this year, and expanded an existing one. Illuminating the Sea, the Paintings of James E. Buttersworth; Marc Castelli, The Art of the Waterman, The Simison Collection; and Decoys of Dorchester County all opened to glowing public reception. A Rising Tide in the Heart of the Chesapeake was expanded to include new stories of watermen and their families from Smith Island.

Our restored pre-Civil War Mitchell House—which belonged to Frederick Douglass’s sister, and its 19th century lifestyle exhibit inside—opened on the Museum’s first Frederick Douglass Day in October. This festival and two other new events, Watermen’s Appreciation Day and the St. Michaels Concours d’Elegance, appealed to diverse audiences and brought many new visitors to our campus. The Museum expanded its partnerships with other non-profits to present Sharpshooters of the Chesapeake at the 40th Annual Waterfowl Festival and to welcome several visiting vessels to our docks such as the Maryland Dove.

The boatyard buzzed with activity, as restoration of the legendary skipjack Rosie Parks began in full swing, and other repairs to our floating fleet were made on a regular basis—all conducted in public view. Called by some “the queen of the fleet,” the Museum’s 1889 nine-log bugeye Edna E. Lockwood has undergone extensive repair and restoration (read more about this on page 7).

For decades in the mid-twentieth century, the steam-powered screw tug Huntington was the venerable flagship of Newport News Shipbuilding Company. Huntington’s pilot house and captain’s quarters, complete with furnishings and fittings, were rescued intact from a scrap yard in Florida and they’ve found a new home at our Museum. With Huntington’s restoration, the Museum plans a special exhibit on Chesapeake tugs and marine transportation to open next summer in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the launch of the Museum’s tug Delaware.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our tireless volunteers, the Museum is now home to an extensive Heirloom Garden featuring rare, unique, and historically accurate plants and herbs to reflect the kitchen and medicinal gardens cultivated by Chesapeake people of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. We brought back the Museum’s quarterly publication, aptly named The Chesapeake Log, with a fresh look and a renewed sense of energy, and unveiled a beautifully re-designed website, updated daily.

The Museum’s Kids Club summer camp program was extended due to popular demand, offering scholarships to underserved youth in St. Michaels, and the education department introduced a stand-alone lecture series featuring nationally renowned speakers like Adam Goodheart, author of the New York Times bestselling book 1861: The Civil War Awakening.

A newly restructured docent training program now offers volunteers the opportunity to focus on specific areas they find most interesting, such as the Crab Cakes program and ecology tours aboard Mister Jim for kids, or exhibit tours for adults. As a result, we have seen more interest and increased participation by our more than 200 wonderful volunteers.

As you can see, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is growing as a vital resource of inspiration, engagement, and education. Beyond our charge to preserve the artifacts and historic vessels of this treasured region, our highest calling springs from the stories behind every boat, behind every collection piece and exhibit, and ultimately behind the diverse people who for centuries have lived, worked, and played on and around the Chesapeake Bay, and still do today. “Looking for the Brass ring / Vicious Virgin,” 2006.

Marc Castelli: The Art of the Waterman, The Simison Collection

The Art of the Waterman was presented in the Steamboat Gallery from January 31 through March 25, 2011 and featured 23 paintings by renowned Chesapeake artist Marc Castelli, 17 of which were donated to the Museum from the Diane Simison collection. The remaining images were from the artist’s personal collection. Castelli paints in watercolor on paper, working from photographs that he takes himself.

In “Looking for the Brass Ring/Vicious Virgin,” Castelli has caught the powerful tongs lifting out of the Bay, pulling a mound of water behind them. Though the color of the sky marks this as a typically cold day for oystering, and despite the mechanical help from the dredge, waterman Jimmy Kline is working so hard he’s shed his outer layer.

Illuminating the Sea: The Paintings of James E. Buttersworth, 1817-1894

This major retrospective exhibit, highlighting the work of famed 19th-century marine artist James Edward Buttersworth (1817-1894), opened April 16, 2011 and closed October 23, 2011. The show, organized by Mystic Seaport and displayed in the Steam-boat Gallery, was co-sponsored by the Maryland Historical Trust, Wilmington Trust FSB, and Kay and Bob Perkins.

A ship portraitist who meticulously illustrated America’s Golden Age of Sail, Buttersworth captured a realistic view of sea and sky while incorporating the human element into his work. Paintings in the exhibition spanned Buttersworth’s entire career, beginning with his early British period works and ending with the 1893 America’s Cup series, completed a year before his death. The exhibition featured 24 paintings, some of which were part of a gift to Mystic Seaport.

Decoys of Dorchester County is a special exhibit featuring decoys from the private collections of East Coast Decoy Collectors Club members and the Museum’s permanent collection. The exhibit opened in April, 2011 and continued through November, 2011.

Dorchester County historically offered vast expanses of marshland as shelter and food for migrating ducks and geese along the Atlantic flyway. This translated into rich hunting grounds for area waterfowlers and a high demand for decoys. These gunners made their own decoys or often obtained them locally, producing some of the greatest variety of North American decoys, including some of the crudest to a few of the most refined.

A Rising Tide in the Heart of the ChesapeakePhotos by David HarpText by Tom Horton

In March, 2011, this special exhibit was expanded to include stories of the Smith Island Crabmeat Cooperative—a business enterprise of watermen’s wives who pick and sell meat from the crabs caught by their families, and the story of a father-and-son crab potting team whose livelihoods have been impacted by new crab harvesting limits.

With photographs by David Harp and text by environmental writer Tom Horton, this exhibit explores the cultural and environmental changes of the Chesapeake. The entire exhibit showcases stories of people from three islands—Hoopers, Smith, and Holland—and focuses on the loss or threatened loss of their cultures. This exhibit is generously sponsored by Kay and Bob Perkins.

The Mitchell House

The opening of the historic Mitchell House coincided with the inaugural Freder-ick Douglass Day in October, 2010. Mitchell House helps to tell the stories and history of free black laborers along Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The left half of the house is original, with the right half a reconstruction to resemble its former state. The house was once the home of Eliza Bailey Mitchell, Douglass’s closest sibling.

The Mitchell House exhibit is both inside and out—with an 1800s swept-earth landscape and heirloom garden, and the two-room building. One room displays a pre-Civil War domestic environment. The other incorporates exhibits which help explain who free blacks were and why they are so important in the story and history of the Chesapeake.

Decoys of Dorchester

Edna, without a doubt, is the most significant boat in the Museum’s collection. Built in 1889 by John B. Harrison on Tilghman Island, the

Edna E. Lockwood is a nine-log sailing Chesapeake bugeye––a double-ended, multi-log hulled oyster dredging vessel with two masts and three sails. The second mast on a bugeye is just one of the distinctive differences between it and the iconic skipjack, which has only one mast.

Declared a National Historic Landmark in 1994, Edna is often referred to as the “queen” of the Museum’s fleet. She represents an unusual log or “chunk” style of shipbuilding technology practiced nowhere else in the world but the Chesapeake region. The era of bugeyes was ushered in after the Civil War and the repeal of the 1820 ban on dredging oysters in Maryland waters. A bugeye-building boom reached its peak in the late 1860s and early ‘70s during the pinnacle of U.S. oyster fishery, with no other vessel harvesting more oysters than the bugeye.

The bugeye’s thick log bottom, advantageous for hauling oysters, soon became the reason for its declining production. The once-popular vessel was replaced by the skipjack––easier and cheaper to build––as the large trees needed for the construction of the bugeye’s hull began to disappear. Edna was donated to the Museum in 1973 and underwent an extensive restoration process from 1975 to 1979. At 53 feet, six inches long, Edna is a rare survivor, the last of the log-hull bugeyes afloat to retain her sailing rig and working appearance.

Although fully restored in 1979, regular maintenance continues to keep Edna afloat. In June, 2010, a 54-foot fir log was delivered to the Museum to be shaped into a new boom for Edna. The log was squared and then put away for the summer, until winter, when most of the repair work was completed. In September, 2010, the boatyard crew pulled the two masts out and began tearing up the decks in midship. Over the fall, the crew replaced four deck beams from the cabin house forward, reframed the hatch, and replaced the bulkhead under the cabin house.

“Replacing the deck beam on the forward end of the cabin was tough because we didn’t remove the cabin, we just lifted it up and worked underneath it,” recalls Assistant Curator for Watercraft Richard Scofield. During the 2010-2011 winter months, the crew replaced the mast partners (where the mast goes through the deck) in addition to replacing the king plank, (the big, wide center plank for the deck) with solid oak pieces.

As spring 2011 approached, Project Manager Marc Barto along with shipwright apprentices Jenn Kuhn and Joe Green began to replace decking from the midship to the cabin, replacing a few margin boards (the outer most pieces of the deck). Kuhn and Green also rebuilt the small hatch just forward of the cabin house. By late spring of 2011, the new boom––tucked away from the previous summer––was taking shape and much of the caulking, sealing, painting, and varnishing was completed. Clearly, the Edna E. Lockwood, with all of the incredible Chesapeake history she holds in the grain of her wood and in the creases of her sails, is in very good hands indeed.

eIn March of 2011, Edna––now appearing very much as she did when she was first built––was rocking gently in the harbor when Pamela Todd Pitt, of Cabin Creek, MD, came to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum for the first time. She gazed in amazement at the vessel her father had skippered while she was growing up.

“It was an emotional moment,” recalls Pitt. “I could just imagine dad being in the same place, climbing aboard the same deck and playing cards in the same cabin as I stood on Edna. This has been such a great experience for me. It was like returning home in many ways.” Pam’s father, Reginald D. “Raggy” Todd, was the skipper aboard Edna from 1948 until the late 1950s.

“A lot of people think the Museum is just about boats,” comments master ship-wright Marc Barto. “But it’s really about the way people are connected to the Bay. It’s the stories like that of Pamela and her father that make this place so meaningful to the visitors and members we serve. It inspires us every day to give our best work to the Museum.”

in June, 2010, assistant Curator for Watercraft Richard Scofield and Classic Yacht restoration guild director rick Carrion worked on the first cut on a 54’ fir log to make a new boom for the Museum’s Edna E. Lockwood.

gifTS To The CoLLeCTion

named endowment funds have supported the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum since the first fund was established in 1969.

if you are interested in making a contribution to an established fund or creating a similar fund through a current or planned

gift, please contact director of development rené Stevenson at 410-745-4950.

ENDOWMENTS voLUnTeerSvolunteer effort and dedication brought this Museum into existence and has helped shape the mission that still guides us. volunteer support continues to sustain us today, and allows us to do the important work of preservation and education that has earned us international recognition, professional accreditation, and deep local and regional support. in the forty plus years since our founding, the Museum has expanded dramatically as we have responded to the diverse needs of our growing constituencies.

Today, despite an annual operating budget of over $3 million, the Museum continues to rely on our cadre of volunteers to work alongside staff throughout the institution—as docents, cataloguers, receptionists, boatbuilders, gardeners, store assistants, model makers, and more. Without our volunteers, we could not maintain our collections, facilities or programs.

Over the past fiscal year, our volunteers logged more than 24,203 hours—the equiva-lent of 605 weeks of work for the Museum or almost 12 full-time staff. We sincerely appreciate the help they give the Museum, for their expertise, their energy, their endurance, and their dedication. ThanK YoU!
