Shipwright Apprentice
October 2010 - March 2011
The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is a non-profit organization dedicated to telling the stories of the Chesapeake Bay and the people who have shaped their lives around it. The Museum’s working boatyard highlights restoration of the Bay’s traditional vessels.
As a Shipwright Apprentice I worked alongside Master Shipwrights to restore the museum's historic fleet. During my time at CBMM I worked on the restoration of the historic vessel Edna E. Lockwood, a 54’ oyster schooner built in 1889. Edna is the last remaining log built bugeye, a type of boat used since the mid 1800's to dredge oysters in Chesapeake Bay.
