Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum : ウィキペディア英語版 | Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum
The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is located in St. Michaels, Maryland, United States and is home to a collection of Chesapeake Bay artifacts, exhibitions, and vessels. This interactive museum was founded in 1965 on Navy Point, once a site of seafood packing houses, docks, and work boats. Today, the Museum houses the world's largest collection of Chesapeake Bay boats and provides interactive exhibits in and around the 35 buildings which dot the campus. The Museum also offers year-round educational seminars and workshops. ==Exhibits==
The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum tells the geological, economic, and social stories of the Bay and those that lived there. Museum visitors can view over 100 boats and boat models, various artworks including a vast collection of watercolors, decoys, guns, ship’s signboards, and other historical Bay artifacts. Larger structures include Tilghman Island’s original Knapps Narrows drawbridge and the 1879 Hooper Strait Chesapeake screw-pile lighthouse. At the Museum’s working boatyard, visitors can have their hand at constructing a wooden skiff through the Apprentice for a Day program (see below). One of the interactive exhibits the Museum offers is ''Waterman's Wharf'', where one can practice seafood harvesting by hauling an eel or crab pot out of the waters of Fog Cove. Another exhibit, ''Oystering on the Chesapeake'', transports visitors to the deck of a working waterman, and explains how the oyster industry has shaped the region’s landscape, culture, and history. The ''Floating Fleet'' is one of the most popular exhibits offered. This collection of water vessels docked at Navy Point includes ''Edna E. Lockwood'', a National Historic Landmark, and the last sailing log-bottom bugeye. The museum helps keep the Chesapeake Bay log canoe racing tradition alive through preserving and sailing the ''Edmee S.'', the museum’s own log racing canoe, which is crewed and raced by Museum staff on weekends in the summer. The dredgeboat ''Old Point'', built from seven logs in 1909, was once used to haul fresh fish in the winter, carry oysters during the fall, and dredge clams during the summer. Today, it offers kids a hands on and onboard "waterman" experience. ''Mister Jim'', the museum’s replica buyboat, takes museum visitors out on the water for tours of the Bay throughout summer weekends. Through the variety of exhibits, the Museum provides the opportunity for all to experience the history and culture of the Chesapeake Bay region.
