Rebecca T. Ruark
The ''Rebecca T. Ruark'' is a Chesapeake Bay skipjack built at Taylor's Island, Maryland in 1886. She is homeported at Tilghman Island, Maryland. She was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2003.〔
==Description==
The ''Rebecca T. Ruark'' is a typical sloop-rigged skipjack, built for the shallow draft, low freeboard and high stability needed to work the Chesapeake Bay oyster beds. She has a rounded chine with a sharp, convex clipper bow on a sloop hull. The ''Ruark'' is fore-and-aft planked. Her wood plug rudder is carried well forward beneath the transom, astern of the centerboard. As part of her 2000 U.S. Coast Guard certification to carry passengers for hire she received a watertight bulkhead ahead of the mast. An aluminum hatch provides access into the new space, which is used for sail and line storage. The deck is fir forward of the main hatch and pressure-treated pine aft. Deck beams are oak, with two king planks running from the bow to the main hatch. A central hatch measures long by wide. Behind the hatch is a small trunk cabin with a three-sided doghouse aft, with double doors leading from the doghouse to the hold. A fuel tank for the push boat is on the starboard side of the cabin. Pipe rails have been added for passenger carriage.
The ''Rebecca T. Ruark'' carries a standard skipjack rig of jib-headed mainsail and a large jib. The present mast is new from 2000 and is in diameter and high. The Dacron mainsail is laced at the bottom and carried by hoops on the mast. The jib is clubbed along its foot. For dredging work the ''Ruark'' carries a powered pushboat from davits over her stern.〔
The ''Ruark'' has been extensively rebuilt, with her keel, keelson, some ribs and portions of the centerboard trunk believed to be original. She does, however, retain her original appearance, with some concessions to the passenger excursion trade.〔
