Text-to-speech Audio
The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum was founded in 1965. Today, the museum has 35 buildings on its 18 acre site on the waterfront of St. Michaels. The Museum offers exhibits, demonstrations, boat rides on the Miles River, and annual festivals that celebrate Chesapeake Bay culture, boats, seafood, and history.
The Museum’s floating fleet of historic Chesapeake Bay watercraft is the largest in existence and its small boat collection includes crabbing skiffs, workboats, and log canoes. The Museum’s working boatyard highlights restoration of the Bay’s traditional vessels.
