Located
in St. Michaels on Maryland's eastern shore, this museum
offers 600 years of the unique history of North America's
largest estuary. The story covers Native Americans and
their dug-out canoes; pirates and privateers; Baltimore
Clippers; the American Revolution; hardworking oystermen;
SkipJack racing; environmental conservation and more.
Though boats are restored on-site, the museum's ultimate
mission is about preserving communities and a way of
life that is disappearing quickly.
