Chesapeake Bay Buyboats

BUYBOATS ARE PART OF THE CHESAPEAKE'S MARITIME HERITAGE. THEY EVOLVED FROM THE SAILING SCHOONERS, BUGEYES, PUNGIES AND LOG CANOES SO FAMILIAR IN THE BAY'S BACKGROUND. WHILE IT IS FASCINATING TO LEARN ABOUT THE BOATS, IT IS EVEN MORE SO TO HEAR FROM SO MANY OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE INVOLVED WITH THEM. BY INCLUDING PERSONAL NARRATIVE, THE AUTHOR HAS PRESENTED A GENEROUS SLICE OF LIFE ON THE BAY, SPANNING MANY DECADES.
