William B. Tennison (bugeye)
The ''William B. Tennison'' is a Chesapeake Bay bugeye built in 1899 and converted to an oyster buy-boat in 1906-07. With the conversion her sail rig was removed and an engine inserted, and is the only surviving example of this conversion. Her construction marks a transition between log construction and plank construction. She is homeported at the Calvert Marine Museum in Solomons, Maryland. The ''Tennison'' is reputed to be the second oldest licensed passenger vessel in the United States.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and as a National Historic Landmark in 1994.〔
==Description==
The ''William B. Tennison'' was built as a nine-log sailing bugeye, using pitch pine logs, thick at the keel and tapering to at the outer edges. She is long on deck and has a beam of with a draft of .The hullform is flat-bottomed with rounded chines, and is sharp at each end. Framing and planking are built up above the logs for freeboard, using oak frames at approximate centers. A bulhead separates the foc'sle from the hold. A second blunkhead was added when she was converted to power between the hold nd the engine compartment. At the same time the centerboard trunk was removed. A "patent stern" was added to square the deck above the sharp stern and add working space. A portion of the rudder has been cut away to allow for a propeller.〔
For her conversion to a buy-boat the ''Tennison''s mainmast and the running rigging to the foremast, necessary for sailing, were removed. The foremast was then used to hoist bushel-sized oyster baskets from other vessels to the hold using two gaff-rigged booms. A pilothouse with a rounded from was added, as is typical in Chesapeake Bay buy-boats. Three windows occupy the front, with one window and a door on each side. The pilothouse is covered with vertical tongue and groove cypress siding. Two bunks are on the port side aft, along with an enclosed head aft. A floor hatch gives access to the engine compartment. The foc'sle once housed three bunks, a table and a cookstove.〔
