Abstract

Black and white photographic print of the NELLIE L. BYRD, a skipjack built in Oriole, Maryland by George Noble, between 1911-1915 is depicted on the Tangier Sound in the Chesapeake Bay.

Administrative History

The skipjack is a traditional fishing boat used on the Chesapeake Bay for oyster dredging. It is a sailboat which succeeded the bugeye as the chief oystering boat on the bay, and it remains in service due to laws restricting the use of powerboats in the Maryland state oyster fishery.
