Granville Hale's List of Skipjacks 1883 to Present The Last Skipjacks Project Page 1 “GRANNY’S” Skipjack Notebook The Last Skipjacks Project Page 2 Editor’s note: The following list was compiled around the year 2000 by the late Granville Hale, one of the volunteer builders of the Skipjack Nathan of Dorchester. He gave it to Capt. Frank Newton, who volunteered as captain on the Nathan for more than fifteen years, and who passed it along to me for the Last Skipjacks Project. When Capt. Newton handed me this bundle of stapled, photocopied pages, I realized what an exceptional resource it was and that it needed to be shared. To enhance its usefulness, instead of simply scanning the pages, I have retyped them to allow the file to be searchable online. I also have linked the existing skipjacks to their pages on The Last Skipjacks Project website. Otherwise, the format and layout is as Hale presented the information. He presents the lists as: • Appendix A, Surviving Skipjacks as of 2000 • Appendix B, Vessel List by year built, with introduction on sources; and • Appendix C, Dorchester County Skipjacks by location where built. Whether these “appendices” originally were attached to a larger volume is unknown. I have made few changes to Granny Hale’s original text, other than correcting obvious typing errors. Within the lists, names of the boats have been corrected only for typing errors. Any other changes within the lists are identified in footnotes.

Lee is not a skipjack, but a Delaware Bay Oyster Schooner dredge boat, being restored by Ed Farley. The Last Skipjacks Project Page 5 Appendix B Vessel List - Skipjacks The vessels listed in this appendix are the result of research from several different sources. Most of the data came from volumes of the “Merchant Vessels of the United States,” published by the Treasury Department. Supplemental data was derived from newspapers, personal interviews, and books and pamphlets by historians like H. Chapelle, M. Brewington, and P. Vojtech. Some newspaper articles say that the Skipjack fleet numbered over 1000 boats at the turn of the century (1900). The primary reason that research provides less than the 1000 boat figure is that local folklore referred to any sailboat that worked the oyster beds as a “Skipjack.” This often included “Bugeyes,” “Sloops,” “Schooners,” and various “Bateaux” that came to be known as the Skipjack. The shape of the hull and sails of a Skipjack are similar; however, the length, beam, depth, and the use of one or two masts varies greatly. The early vessels had “fore and aft” bottom planking and later vessels had “herring bone” bottom planking. It is interesting to note that most of the Skipjacks were built over a six year period (1897 to 1903). The re-use of vessel names tends to support the thought that earlier boats that sunk or were damaged were replaced in later years. The poor quality and various methods used in early record keeping could be a factor in some incorrect names, sizes, and building locations. It is also possible that some boats spoken of in folklore [are] not on the record. The Last Skipjacks Project Page 6 Vessel List - Skipjacks Yr. Blt. Name Lgth.

  • 2/14/03 News Release From
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (ST MICHAELS, MD – August 30, 2011) OysterFest is November 5 at CBMM From 10-4pm on Saturday, November 5, celebrate the Chesapeake’s oyster at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s (CBMM) OysterFest in St. Michaels, MD. The event features live music, oysters and other food, children’s activities, boat rides, oyster demonstrations and harvesting displays, retriever demonstrations, cooking demonstrations, and an oyster stew competition among regional chefs. The folk, blues and jazz sounds of B-Natural of Chestertown will entertain guests with live music throughout the day. Band member Pres Harding is the grandson of Bronza Parks—the legendary Dorchester County boatbuilder of the museum’s skipjack, Rosie Parks. The skipjack once sailed the Chesapeake dredging for oysters, and is now undergoing a three-year restoration at the museum. The Talbot County Watermen’s Association will have several boats dockside to help share the stories of how oyster dredging, hand tonging, patent tonging and diving for oysters have been longtime traditions of the Chesapeake Bay. The Talbot County Watermen’s Association will also be offering freshly caught Chesapeake Bay oysters on the half shell. Hatchery-raised raw oysters and fried oyster sandwiches will also be made available. For those who prefer to learn about oysters rather than eat them, pit beef, cold beer, caramel apples, apple cider and more will also be available. An oyster slurping contest among festival-goers and an oyster stew competition among regional chefs will earn bragging rights for the winners, with limited samples of oyster stew served up beginning at 11am.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • History of Maldivian Fishing
    History of Maldivian Fishing Traditionally fishery is the main occupation and major livelihood of the Maldivian. It is also the second largest industry in the Maldives. The main methods of fishing are pole and line for Skipjack tuna. The second most important fish caught is the yellow fin tuna. The main fish products exported are; frozen fish, canned fish, dried fish and salted dry fish. The traditional fishing vessel, a sailing ‘Dhoni’, is less than 15 feet long. Thatch sails were used in the early days of fishing, which have been replaced by sail-cloths and rowing. The Maldivian fishery is famous in the world for its dolphin friendliness. The modern fishing vessel revolutionized the Maldivian fishing industry, enabling the fisherman to sail further distances. It meant that the direction and speed of the wind were no longer determinants of the distances traveled by fishermen in search of fish. Establishment of cold storage facilities was another important landmark in the development of the fisheries industry. In the past, the Maldives exported tuna primarily in the dried and smoked form called ‘Hiki Kandumas’ or 'Maldive Fish' to Sri Lanka. Maldives also exported other forms of fish products to Japan and Thailand.
