Welcome to "Watermen's Legacy," a geocache placed at the Skipjack Heritage Museum, a place dedicated to preserving the rich maritime history of the Chesapeake Bay and the iconic Skipjack!
The Skipjack, with its distinctive V-hull and dredge, was once the backbone of the Bay's oyster industry. These hardy sailing vessels, operated by equally hardy watermen, represent a crucial chapter in American maritime heritage. While their numbers have dwindled, the spirit of the Skipjack endures through preservation efforts and, of course, in places like this museum.
