PEM Talks: Lost Landmarks - The Boatbuilding Tradition in Southern Maryland
Calvert Marine Museum, 14200 Solomons Island Road, Solomons. 7-9pm. Richard Dodd, Curator of Maritime History at the Calvert Marine Museum and coauthor of "Wooden Boatbuilding in Southern Maryland," will talk about the role boatbuilding played in maritime communities. Wooden boatbuilding is a time-honored tradition in Southern Maryland. Seeing boats under construction was as much a part of the landscape as tobacco hanging in barns and fishing nets drying in the sun. Today, due to the drastic decline in the local seafood industry and in the introduction of Fiberglas hulls, they have become a rarity.
