Skipjack NATHAN OF DORCHESTER underway on Cambridge Creek
The NATHAN OF DORCHESTER was commissioned on July 4, 1994. Funded by contributions and built by volunteers, the Nathan was built to preserve the wooden boat building technology and nautical heritage of the Chesapeake region. The skipjack is the Maryland State boat and Dorchester County led all others in the number of skipjacks built. The Nathan offers residents and visitors alike an opportunity to participate in and enjoy our nautical heritage. The boat is staffed by volunteer crew who tell about the construction of the vessel from its 61 foot loblolly pine mast to the historic equipment salvaged from old skipjacks no longer in service.
