The skipjack is a type of sailboat developed on the Chesapeake Bay for oyster dredging. It succeeded the bugeye as the chief oystering boat on the bay, and remains in service due to laws restricting the use of powerboats in the Maryland state oyster fishery. It has long been an icon of the Eastern Shore. You may arrange to take a ride on a skipjack on Tilghman Island and experience a part of Eastern Shore history. For schedules and fees, visit the site of the Rebecca T. Ruark.
