The public is invited to help the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum celebrate its construction of the new Maryland Dove with a dock party!

CBMM’s St. Michaels, Md., campus opens at 10am on Saturday, May 28, and the festivities start at 11am. Food, drinks, and live music will be on site for guests to enjoy and CBMM’s shipwrights will give talks on rigging and the construction process throughout the day. At 2pm, officials from CBMM and Historic St. Mary’s City will lead us in a toast to the ship.

This event will also mark the return of drop-in cruises aboard 1920 buyboatWinnieEstelle, which depart from CBMM’s campus at 12:30pm, 1:30pm, and 2:30pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays throughout the summer. Boarding passes, which are limited, cost $10 for adults, $5 for CBMM members, $3 for children 6–17, and free for all member children and non-member children 5 and under.

Entrance to the Maryland Dove Dock Party itself is included with general admission and is free for CBMM members.

In 2018, it was announced that CBMM had been selected to build a brand-new Maryland Dove for Historic St. Mary’s City. The ship, a representation of the late 17th-century trading ship that accompanied the first European settlers to what is now Maryland, is owned by the state of Maryland, and operated and maintained by the Historic St. Mary’s City Commission. An earlier version of the ship, built in the 1970s by Cambridge’s Jim Richardson, was nearing the end of its useful life and decades of new research meant that a new ship could be designed to be a more historically accurate representation of the original Maryland Dove.

 Since that first announcement, construction of the iconic state ship has been the central focus of CBMM’s working Shipyard. Work over the past few years, all done in public view, has seen the new ship move from concept to reality, and Maryland Dove will now remain dockside for the final steps in its construction, and throughout the summer.

Dove Tales to Open at CBMM in April

Share

The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is pleased to announce that it will soon open another new exhibition, Dove Tales, scheduled to be on display from April 21–Dec. 31, 2022, in its Steamboat Building. Dove Tales will explore the sources that reveal the history, construction and cultural significance of Maryland Dove. From the tercentenary representation to the 1970s and current iteration, the vessels have served as important interpretive tools, connecting Marylanders to the far-reaching impacts of 17th century colonization, and with boatbuilding as a living historical tradition in the Chesapeake region.

In 1978, Dorchester County’s Jim Richardson and a team of young workers completed the first Maryland Dove, a representation of the vessel that escorted colonists to the province in 1634. As the CBMM’s working Shipyard completes the new Maryland Dove in 2022, curatorial staff will draw from CBMM’s oral history archive and recent interviews with the 1970s boatbuilders for the new exhibition.

“In many ways, the current Maryland Dove project builds upon Richardson’s project, paying homage to the traditional work of Chesapeake boatbuilders,” said Associate Curator of Collection Jenifer Dolde. “Richardson-trained boatwrights came to work at CBMM and, more than 40 years later, CBMM’s shipwrights actively preserve and interpret these skills on a daily basis.”

While museum curators typically draw on material culture for exhibitions, conducting library research using primary sources and scholarly literature, the personal narrative approach to Dove Tales will incorporate media and personal quotations, along with photographs, mementos, tools, models, and more, collected during the folklife documentation. The interviews reveal the work life and practices of the men and women who built Maryland Dove in the 1970s, at a time when the wooden boatbuilding trade was thought to be as dying out. Nevertheless, master boatbuilders such as Jim Richardson persisted in teaching these traditional skills and techniques, and that legacy continues.

Admission to view Dove Tales is included with general CBMM admission and is free for members. To learn more about becoming a membership, which plays a critical role in supporting CBMM’s rich legacy of educational programs, fascinating and ever-changing exhibitions, and maintenance of the largest collection of Chesapeake Bay watercraft in the world, visit cbmm.org/support/membership.

Submissions Open for New Community Exhibition

February 22, 2022 by Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Leave a Comment

Share

The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Md., is now accepting submissions for its upcoming exhibition, The Changing Chesapeake.

Although steeped in traditional culture, the Chesapeake has long been a place of change and evolution, and its history driven by response to that change. The Changing Chesapeake seeks submissions from students and adults alike, responding to changes they observe in the landscape and life around them.

“For many people in this region, their lifestyle, familial and cultural experiences, and personal identity are intrinsically connected to the Chesapeake,” said Associate Curator of Collections Jenifer Dolde. “As the fabric of our community evolves and the very appearance of the surrounding land and water is transformed during a single lifetime, we are called to mark this change, to voice our histories, our passions, our fears, and our hopes. Calling for and sharing these voices in a public exhibition documents who we are as a community and represents the ebb and flow of our cultural traditions over time.”

Artists are asked to consider the following questions as they create their pieces: How is climate change and/or the impact of humans on the environment shaping your Chesapeake community? How has the way you identify with and are inspired by the Chesapeake evolved? What would you want someone 100 years from now to know about your life and community traditions in the Chesapeake today? What is your vision for the future of life in the Chesapeake region?

There is no cost to participate. Works will be accepted in a variety of media, including photography, painting, sculpture, video/film, digital arts, textiles, performance art, literary works, and more. Once entered, CBMM staff will pre-screen submissions and submit them for community curation to an interdisciplinary panel, which will seek to represent a wide range of ideas and perspectives. Submissions will be accepted through Sept. 1, 2022, with an anticipated February 2023 exhibition opening.

A webinar is scheduled for 2:30pm Friday, Feb. 18, where CBMM staff will answer questions about The Changing Chesapeake and review what makes a great match for submission. This program will be a valuable resource for anyone considering creation a submission for the exhibition, and the recorded webinar will be made available online for those not available to participate live.

Visit bit.ly/ChangingChesapeake for more guidelines and to submit a work. For more information, email ChangingChesapeake@cbmm.org. Themes, guidelines, and submission form also available in Spanish.
