The Martha Lewis had to cut her season short this year due to transmission trouble, she is currently in Baltimore waiting repairs. She did manage to get two oyster dredging trips in before breaking down. She even supplied the oysters served at the Meet the Author Christopher White event on Nov. 7th at the Bayou!

Discovery Traveler
We have recently purchased a full size bus, which is being transformed into a portable classroom. Onboard the Traveler we will be rolling into schools and giving our special programs to those who for one reason or another cannot join us out on the Martha Lewis.
We will keep you posted on our progress and let you know when we are rolling out!
Meet Ruby
Ruby is a log canoe built in 1890, she is 31 feet tip to tip with one sail. Ruby was donated to us in late October. She is currently behind the lightkeepers house just across form the Maritime Museum. We will be working the the Maritime Museum to keep Ruby maintained.
Ruby was build near Poquoson, Virginia by Charles F. Smith and is a fine example of a Chesapeake Bay workboat. Stay in touch for more information on this beautiful vessel.
