Message from the President & ChairmAn Inspire, educate, preserve, and belong––these four words have graced the front of our past three annual reports and serve as continuous reminders of why we are here, and why this place matters. By inspiring and educating the next generation, preserving the legacies and artifacts that define the Chesapeake region, and fostering a sense of belonging and responsibility, we encourage people to be stewards of the Chesapeake Bay. We continue to be humbled by the outpouring of support from you, our members and donors, and remain deeply committed to ensuring your charitable donations are put to good use. For this 2011-2012 annual report, you’ll find stories of people like you who care deeply about this place and are Langley R. Shook supporters of the Museum. You’ll also find financial President information, our honor roll of donors, and a chance to look ahead at what the Museum is offering in the coming months. You can expect to receive your next issue of The Chesapeake Log in February. Between May 2011 and April 2012 (FY 2011-2012), the Museum continued to build membership and increase attendance. Your gifts to the 2011-2012 Annual Fund set yet another all time record and allowed us to expand programs, open new and engaging exhibits, and make much needed improvements to campus. Two highlights made possible by your support were the opening of our newest exhibits, Gunning Among Friends: Chesapeake Waterfowl Hunting Clubs, and Push and Pull: Life on Chesapeake Bay Tugboats. With transportation a large part of the Chesapeake story, the Tug exhibit is regarded as the most in-depth exhibit on CG Appleby Chesapeake tugs in existence. Far beyond the high level of Chairman, 2011-2012 interest created, the exhibit is exemplary of the authenticity this Museum brings to all its exhibits, boat restoration, and educational programs. With your help, the Museum has carved out a special niche and serves as a model for what visitors want––original research and first-hand accounts that can be found nowhere else. What’s compelling about the stories we tell is not just the content of the Museum’s collections, it's more the context of how they fit into our history and our lives that make them relevant and important. This would be impossible without your continued support. Our year was marked by growing audiences and member engagement for both our signature events and special programming. The restoration of the skipjack Rosie Parks continues to draw visitors, and has reunited four generations of Parks family members at our

annual OysterFest. The tug Delaware celebrated her centennial with a full restoration and made her debut at the opening of the Tug exhibit. Our educational programs continue to grow and expand for both children and adults, with a new Oystering Legacy Tour, revitalized Lighthouse Overnight Adventure program, Speaker Series, and more. With the help of grants and philanthropic support, Navy Point received some much needed attention with a new bulkhead, upgraded marina services, and a new irrigation system and sod. A special thanks to the dedicated corps of volunteers who in FY 2011-2012 donated a combined total of 28,200 hours of service to the Museum—the equivalent of nearly 15 full-time employees. With their help, a native harbor garden was planted in front of our three historic houses at the entry to the Museum, to hold back high tides and protect the lawn. The Museum is fortunate that membership dues and admission receipts cover a higher percentage of expenses than most of our peers. Yet, combined, they support less than a third of the Museum’s annual operating budget. We are fortunate to be awarded government grants for some of our projects, and even more so, for the philanthropic individuals, organizations, and foundations that love the Chesapeake Bay and support our work. With your continued support, the Museum faces a strong future as we inspire, educate, preserve, and build a sense of belonging to the Chesapeake region. Future generations are counting on us. For all you do, for all you’ve done, and for all you will do, we sincerely thank you.

Captain Mike Reagoso

Irénée du Pont Jr. Wilmington, Delaware Museum Supporter since 1965

Irénée du Pont Jr.’s ties with the Museum and the Chesapeake Bay run deep. His first memories of this area date back to 1937 at the Miles River Yacht Club Regatta. At age 17, he and a friend sailed around the harbor in St. Michaels, tying up at Navy Point and watching Irénée du Pont Jr. aboard the Barbara all the events. Years later, Batchelder in the fall of 2011. Irénée met Bronza Parks, who built the Barbara Batchelder for him and his wife Barbara, the skipjack's namesake, in 1955. “I only knew Bronzie for the last two years of his life, but he was one of those people who was gifted with the ability to make everybody feel like they were Bronzie Parks’ best friend. Everybody he met, he made them feel that way. After our boat was built, my wife and I began making regular trips to St. Michaels, and then to the Museum when it was created in the 1960s. The Museum is a real gem of a resource on the Chesapeake Bay. I look at all of the good works it's been doing with programs, exhibits, and outreach to the community, and I’m impressed.”

“If you’re a stranger to this region of the world, or you want an introduction to the Chesapeake Bay, then the Museum is a good place to start. What they’re doing, and not just with restoring the Rosie Parks, but really, restoring Bronzie’s legacy, and the legacy of his family, well it’s an important part of why people should support and care about the work that is done here.” –Irénée du Pont Jr.

Museum Supporter since 1965

Growing up, Mike Reagoso recalls family vacations in St. Michaels, highlighted by visits to the Museum. The Museum made such an impression on him that as an adult, he proposed to his girlfriend in the Hooper Strait Lighthouse, where they later married Susan and Mike Reagoso were married in 2000. Now with four on the Tolchester Beach Bandstand in children, Mike and his wife 2000, and now enjoy bringing their four children to the Museum. Susan appreciate the Museum as a place that inspires and captivates the attention of both kids and adults, educating them on the rich history of the Chesapeake Bay. His company, McAllister Towing, is also a sponsor of the recently opened Push and Pull: Life on Chesapeake Bay Tugboats exhibit.

The Museum exists today, in large part, because of a small group of dedicated individuals, who were determined to create a place where Chesapeake history could be preserved and celebrated. Judge John C. North II is one of those individuals, Judge North holds the Commodore Bartlett serving on the original Trophy, which is presented by the Museum to the winner of the final log canoe race of board of governors, and as counsel negotiating the the season. Judge North's log canoe Island Bird has won eight times since 1972. purchase of much of the Museum’s property. He served as its first vice president, later its president, and drafted the original articles of incorporation of the Museum in 1968.

“Any place that inspires kids to learn while having fun is a great place in our book, and the Museum does a great job of this. From the Mister Jim to boatbuilding, to all of the wonderful static and changing exhibits, the Museum has something for everyone of every age, and what a wonderful cause to support. When I was first approached to support the Tug exhibit, I was thrilled to see that others had taken an interest in the industry where I make my living. To see an opportunity for others to learn about something I am so passionate about was tremendous.”

“With the Museum being so much a part of my life since I was a child, the opportunity to support it and promote the tug and barge industry at the same time was an easy decision. Everything I have seen the Museum do has been first class, so if you are passionate about the Chesapeake Bay and want to support a good cause, this is the one.” –Captain Mike Reagoso, Vice President of Mid-Atlantic Operations for McAllister Towing

“My great-grandfather was William Sidney Covington, who built the famous log canoes Island Bird and Island Blossom, which we are fortunate enough to own. The Museum has been a very important part of my life and my family’s life because so much of my family’s heritage is represented in the Museum’s exhibits. It is, by all odds, the most important institution of its kind to the entire North family and we are delighted to continue to endorse and support it to the fullest extent.”

“The Museum is the repository for historical artifacts and memories of the Chesapeake Bay. There are other museums on the Bay, of specialized interest, but only this Museum incorporates in its vision the necessity of maintaining the Bay’s history and significance on a very broad scale. It is of paramount importance to those of us concerned with the vitality and culture of this area to take an interest in this wonderful Museum that has developed over the years to a degree far, far in excess of what I personally envisioned those many years ago.”

Bill and Carol May have sailed up and down the East Coast, from Florida to Lake Ontario, their summer homeport, for many years. In 1987, after showing their boat in the Annapolis Sailboat Show, they decided to visit St. Michaels, and they have made the town a regular sojourn during their travels ever Bill and Carol May with grandkids since. In the beginning, their Charlie and Kate. interest in the Museum was as an inexpensive place to tie up the boat, but over the years, the Museum began to play an increasingly important role in their lives. “It’s a magical spot, and we’ve been going north and south for years and years, and we’ve spent a lot of time on the Chesapeake. The Museum has impacted our life quite a bit—we got to know some of the people at the Museum very well, and have become friends. It’s an integral part of St. Michaels, which we think is a wonderful little town.”

“The Museum is important in preserving history and teaching others about the Chesapeake Bay. And what the Museum is doing, not only for history, but really, indirectly at least, is to make people very aware of the importance of saving the Bay.” –Bill May

–Judge John C. North II

honor roll of donors

Worton, Maryland Museum Supporter since 2010

Chestertown, Maryland Museum Supporters since 1967

Ellen and Norm Plummer have long shared an interest in yachting, boating, and all things maritime, which led Ellen & Norm Plummer them to join the Museum. They visited St. Michaels regularly from Washington, DC, and after retiring in 1988 became loyal, longstanding volunteers. They play a pivotal role in researching information and photos for various Museum publications, books, and exhibits. Norm wrote three books and several Weather Gauge articles, and Ellen spent countless hours on photographic research, most notably for the “Oystering on the Chesapeake” exhibit, and the much-loved cookbook, From a Lighthouse Window.

“I became interested in the Museum because I believe in history; this is local history, but it’s also a part of our national history. I think the more people know about our history, the better off we’ll be. And not just big events, but what the ordinary people did, and how they lived.” –Ellen Plummer

“The Museum matters to me because it’s an important institution for the Chesapeake region and it is doing everything it can to keep alive the history of the Chesapeake and particularly the history that’s connected to the watermen and all of the things that watermen do, like crabbing and oystering, and so forth.”

Clark Johnson and his wife Karen purchased their boat in 1996 and one of the very first trips they ever took was to St. Michaels. They loved the town and their kids always had a fun time at the Museum. They continued to visit St. Michaels over the years and recently came back for OysterFest. Clark recently claimed his prize in the

“The time that really made Museum's Boating Party fundraiser cannon an impression on me was raffle, saying “Truly I have only once in my about two years ago. We life won a lottery pick. It was in 1966 when my local draft board picked me as a lucky were with another couple winner for the position in the US Army. I and it was really bad was in the artillery units, so I know what a weather and I was on the cannon is all about!” boat, which was anchored out a ways, and my wife Karen was caught on the shore and I couldn’t hear them, I didn’t have the radios on or anything. Karen is a diabetic and she had to get back to the boat and one of the shipwrights at the Museum offered to take her back to the boat. I came back to the shore soon after and joined the Museum, and this shipwright was just a very nice person, and we were impressed that there are still people in the world like that.”

“A little bit after that, I started contributing monthly and I have ever since. We support the Museum because it’s just a really nice thing to do and especially if you live in Maryland, you should support the Museum. It’s the heritage of Maryland. It’s the heritage of the Eastern Shore, and there is just no other place like it.”

–Norm Plummer

US President Benjamin Harrison hunted as a guest of the Bengies Point Ducking Club in 1891. From Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper, 18 April 1891.

“Gunning Among Friends: Chesapeake Waterfowl Hunting Clubs” opened on April 14, 2012. Banding together for a day’s hunting is a longtime practice among those hunting waterfowl for sport. And when the duck blind is too far from home, remote clubhouses near the marshy shorelines have provided a home away from home. Whether populated by wealthy hunters from another state or working class friends from closer by, waterfowling clubs have formed along the Chesapeake Bay from the Susquehanna Flats in the north to the saltwater marshes along the lower Eastern Shore since the early 19th century. This exhibit, which examined these clubs and featured historic photos, documents, decoys, and other gunning accoutrements, closed in November, 2012.

Captain Berg's stories, and others, of life aboard a tugboat are featured in “Push and Pull: Life on Chesapeake Bay Tugboats” which opened on April 21, 2012. The Chesapeake is a highway for tugs and barges, and for the large ships aided by tugs in port. This exhibit explores the lives of the men and women who work on these tugboats and the variety of ways tugs are used around the Chesapeake. In addition to interactive displays along with the images and stories of life on tugboats, the exhibit includes a large, compound steam engine salvaged from the 1924 C&O railroad tug, W. J. Harahan. Visitors to the exhibit gain historical perspective on what has changed in the world of tugboats on the Bay since their first arrival, and meet some of the captains and crew who work—and sometimes live—aboard these hard-working boats. To gather the stories of these men and women, Museum Folklorist Michelle Zacks went aboard tugs, photographed their work, collected photographs from some of the crews, and conducted a series of oral history interviews all around the Bay. The exhibit continues through 2014.

“From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely appreciate everything that y'all do to preserve the working ways of the Chesapeake. I wish I understood how much I was getting as a kid in the 60s/70s by being exposed to the real men of the Bay. I didn't—and like many others, looked hard for my way out.

know we'd almost lost.” -Ray Kimbro, grandson of Bronza Parks

Fifty-seven members of the Parks family, spanning four generations, came to the 2011 OysterFest to celebrate the restoration of the skipjack Rosie Parks. Together with Museum staff and donors to the restoration project, the family reconnected and shared memories of Rosie’s builder Bronza Parks, and his brother Captain Orville Parks. Some of the tools used to build Rosie were donated to the Museum and local Chesapeake artist Marc Castelli gave sketches of Rosie to family members.

Pam and Dennis Pitt, of Hurlock, Maryland, are two of the newest members of the Museum's Perpetual Mariner Society, which recognizes supporters who have included the Museum in their estate plans. The Pitts have a special love of the Museum's floating fleet, and one vessel in particular, the 1889 nine-log bugeye Edna E. Lockwood. Pam's father, Reginald D. “Raggy” Todd, was Edna's skipper from 1948 until the late 1950s.

Delaware, after her completed restoration in April, 2012, docked along Fogg's Cove during the opening of the new Push and Pull: Life on Chesapeake Bay Tugboats exhibit.

Delaware, circa 1925, in Laurel, Delaware.

Vessel Maintenance Manager Michael Gorman, along with the help of volunteers and other boatyard staff remove a piece of wood from the steamer to attach to Delaware.

Michael Gorman and Brigitte and David Phillips of Lancaster PA, hold a section of the old floor of the tug Delaware. David is the great-grandson of Delaware’s builder William H. Smith.

In recognition of her centennial, the tug Delaware was hauled out of the water in early September, 2011. Shipwrights, with the help of boatyard volunteers, used a combination of historic photographs and oral histories taken from those who've worked on Delaware, to restore her to the authentic appearance from her heyday. Delaware is a rare example of a typical early 20th century wooden river tug. Built in 1912 in Bethel, Delaware, by William H. Smith, the tug Delaware measures 39’8” x 11’4”. Delaware is the product of Bethel’s great age of wooden ship and boatbuilding and apart from the 1900 ram schooner Victory Chimes (formerly Edwin and Maud), she may be the only survivor.

(top & middle) Thanks to Crystal Trust, and multiple grants from the State of Maryland, the Museum was able to replace 681 linear feet of decayed wooden bulkhead with more durable vinyl sheathing, adding one finger pier and three spring pilings, and upgrading marina electric and water service. In addition to new decking under the lighthouse, Navy Point received a new irrigation system and sod. (bottom) Museum volunteer Roger Galvin designed and guided Museum staff in planting a native harbor garden in front of the three historic houses at the Museum's entry, to hold back high tides and protect the lawn.

The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is extremely lucky to have a dedicated corps of more than 200 volunteers, who donated a combined 28,220 hours of service to the Museum over the last year, the equivalent of nearly 15 full-time employees. Volunteer effort and dedication brought this Museum into existence and has helped shape the mission that still guides us. The Museum could not function without our cadre of volunteers to work alongside staff throughout the institution—as docents, cataloguers, receptionists, boatbuilders, gardeners, store assistants, model makers, and more. If you are interested in volunteering, contact Director of Events & Volunteer Programs Melissa Spielman at 410-745-4956.

thursday, january 17 10am, Van Lennep Auditorium Not all old Chesapeake houses are on land, plenty are also on (or over) the water. Bay lighthouses are some of the Bay’s most treasured but also most endangered "old houses." In this program, join Anne Arundel County’s Cultural Resource Planner Jane Cox as she talks about her career preserving some of the Chesapeake’s most iconic lighthouses, and her current efforts as a private owner to restore the Baltimore Lighthouse, one load of ferried-in supplies at a time.

thursday, january 31 10am, Van Lennep Auditorium Author and photographer Shirley Hampton Hunt will explore through story and pictures the process of writing and photographing images for her book, The Vanishing Landscape, which documents the history and collapse of abandoned old houses on the Eastern Shore, their relationship to a changing environment, and a population balancing the legacy of the past with the promise of the future.

tuesday, february 5 1pm, Van Lennep Auditorium Elizabeth Beckley of Preservation Maryland will discuss her career as a historical restorer, old house aficionado, owner, and preservationist. With a professional and personal life spent in, on, and under old Chesapeake houses, Beckley’s talk will be illustrated by the lively stories and photos of her restoration adventures.

RSVP to Cheryl Miller at 410-745-4943 or email [email protected] by January 20. A skinny-tailed cousin of the beaver, muskrats make their homes around the many creeks that snake through the marshlands of the Chesapeake. Join us for an evening of muskrat talk and tasting to learn about traditional ways of trapping, cooking, and eating the furry creature that some have called the “Dorchester Marsh Rabbit.” Leading the conversation will be mother and daughter Nellie Flowers and Rhonda Aaron, along with Morgan Bennett III, of Maryland Furtrappers, Inc., all natives of the marshy world of Dorchester County.

Maryland Humanities Council Grant awarded to CBMM for “Community Conversations” The Museum received a $6,300 grant from the Maryland Humanities Council for seed money to fund an innovative initiative focusing on "Community Conversations." The first series, entitled "State of the Oyster," will focus on the status of the fisheries and their past, present, and future significance to Chesapeake Bay communities. Scheduled for four Sunday afternoons in late winter 2013, the programs will pose the question of whether, and how, oyster production can continue as the backbone of the region's culture and economy. Biological dimensions of the “oyster question” will be addressed, but the primary focus will be on cultural and social dynamics of the issue. One of the most significant goals of this project is to host public forums where stakeholders possessing different, and in some cases, conflicting perspectives can have meaningful conversations, promoting open and civil dialogue about topics important to the community as a whole. Dates to be announced in the upcoming Winter/Spring edition of The Chesapeake Log, and to be available on our website, cbmm.org.
