It belonged to a noisy family of grunts, P. multidentatus Cope, croakers, and drums called the single crushing teeth Sciaenidae. Like the modern black drum, Pogonias cromis, which occurs in the Bay today, P. multidentatus was probably a huge, lumbering, black- finned fish with a large underslung mouth filled with teeth specially Teeth.

    The Martinak Boat (CAR-254, 18CA54) Caroline County, Maryland Bruce F. Thompson Principal Investigator Maryland Department of Planning Maryland Historical Trust, Office of Archeology Maryland State Historic Preservation Office 100 Community Place Crownsville, Maryland 21032-2023 November, 2005 This project was accomplished through a partnership between the following organizations: Maryland Historical Trust Maryland Department of Natural Resources Martinak State Park Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Maritime Archaeological and Historical Society *The cover photo shows the entrance to Watts Creek where the Martinak Boat was discovered just to the right of the ramp http://www.riverheritage.org/riverguide/Sites/html/watts_creek.html (accessed December 10, 2004). Executive Summary The 1960s discovery and recovery of wooden shipwreck remains from Watt’s Creek, Caroline County induced three decades of discussion, study and documentation to determine the wrecks true place within the region’s history. Early interpretations of the wreck timbers claimed the vessel was an example of a Pungy (generally accepted to have been built ca. 1840 – 1920, perhaps as early as 1820), with "…full flaring bow, long lean run, sharp floors, flush deck…and a raking stem post and stern post" (Burgess, 1975:58). However, the closer inspection described in this report found that the floors are flatter and the stem post and stern post display a much longer run (not so raking as first thought). Additional factors, such as fastener types, construction details and tool marks offer evidence for a vessel built earlier than 1820, possibly a link between the late 18th-century shipbuilding tradition and the 19th-century Pungy form.

  • 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.
