2011– 2012 Annual Report - Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum

US President Benjamin Harrison hunted as a guest of the Bengies Point
Ducking Club in 1891. From Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper, 18 April 1891.
“Gunning Among Friends: Chesapeake Waterfowl Hunting Clubs” opened
on April 14, 2012. Banding together for a day’s hunting is a longtime
practice among those hunting waterfowl for sport. And when the duck
blind is too far from home, remote clubhouses near the marshy shorelines
have provided a home away from home. Whether populated by wealthy
hunters from another state or working class friends from closer by,
waterfowling clubs have formed along the Chesapeake Bay from the
Susquehanna Flats in the north to the saltwater marshes along the lower
Eastern Shore since the early 19th century. This exhibit, which examined
these clubs and featured historic photos, documents, decoys, and
other gunning accoutrements, closed in November, 2012.

In this image from the Tug exhibit, a harbor pilot launch idles beside the MSC Rachele, allowing the
bay pilot to disembark as the tug Surrie Moran approaches.
Museum Folklorist Michelle Zacks introduces the tugboat captains and crew featured in the
Tug Exhibit at the opening reception on April 20.
(left) Captain Dennis Berg, in an image from the exhibit. (right) Captain Dennis Berg stands in front
of a painting of his tug Quaker with wife Janet and their daughter Alice Penchenski.
Captain Berg's stories, and others, of life aboard a tugboat are featured in
“Push and Pull: Life on Chesapeake Bay Tugboats” which opened on April 21,
2012. The Chesapeake is a highway for tugs and barges, and for the large ships
aided by tugs in port. This exhibit explores the lives of the men and women
who work on these tugboats and the variety of ways tugs are used around
the Chesapeake. In addition to interactive displays along with the images and
stories of life on tugboats, the exhibit includes a large, compound steam engine
salvaged from the 1924 C&O railroad tug, W. J. Harahan. Visitors to the exhibit
gain historical perspective on what has changed in the world of tugboats on
the Bay since their first arrival, and meet some of the captains and crew who
work—and sometimes live—aboard these hard-working boats. To gather the
stories of these men and women, Museum Folklorist Michelle Zacks went aboard
tugs, photographed their work, collected photographs from some of the crews,
and conducted a series of oral history interviews all around the Bay. The exhibit
continues through 2014.
