Special Events at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum
John Mock Concert Join musician and photographer John Mock as he performs an evening of original compositions on the guitar, concertina, and tin whistle, all accompanied by a photographic slideshow documenting the Maritime vistas that inspired his music. All ages will enjoy John’s musical mastery and engaging storytelling as he evokes the essence of the sea in his images and melodies. Log Canoe Racing on the Chesapeake Join CBMM’s Assistant Curator of Watercraft, Richard Scofield, as he explores the history, culture, and craft of the iconic Chesapeake log canoe. Scofield, a master shipwright and avid sailor, has spent his life on the Bay racing and crewing these iconic vessels, and though stories and photographs he will share his experiences restoring, competing, and appreciating log canoes. Lathe Tool Demonstration Ever wonder how to turn an object on a lathe? A late is a machine tool that rotates the work piece on its axis to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, and more. Join us in the boat shop for a quick look at how to safely turn an object—bowl, furniture piece, whatever you’re working on. CBMM’s Friday Open Boat Shop Members of the public are invited to the boat shop to work on small projects of their own, or to bring ideas for a future project, and receive the advice of an experienced shipwright and woodworker. Participants can expect assistance with machinery and tools, plans, measurements, and the execution of their small-scale project, which could include plans for a Christmas or birthday present, frames, furniture, models, artwork, etc. Watermen’s Appreciation Day & Crab Feast Enjoy all-you-can-eat crabs, listen to live music from local favorite Bird Dog and The Road Kings, and watch a boat docking contest as you learn about and celebrate the heritage of Chesapeake watermen. This year’s special guests are Edgar Hansen and Nick Mavar of the Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch” and Liz and Jessica Cavalier of the History Channel’s “Swamp People.” This is a fundraiser for the Talbot County Watermen’s Association, held in cooperation with the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. 16th Annual Boat Auction Boating experts and novices alike have the same opportunity to bid on the boat of their dreams!
