Another busy weekend in Chestertown found the Spy enjoying an exhibit and talk on Sunday at the Charles Sumner Post #15 where Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Chief Curator Pete Lesher and maritime artist Marc Castelli fronted an exhibit of Castelli’s portraits of African-American watermen along with a presentation about that era. The exhibit is courtesy of Dr. Mel Rapelyea, Marc Castelli and CBMM.
Here are a few highlights of the presentation.
