Papa Posted July 9, 2023 Share #1 Posted July 9, 2023 If you are ever in the St Michaels, Maryland area I would recommend a visit to the CBMM (cbmm.org). There are loads of Chesapeake water craft from Bugeyes to log canoes to examine. There also are several interactive areas that entertained our 11 year old granddaughter.

Roger Pellett Posted July 9, 2023 Share #2 Posted July 9, 2023 Haven’t been there for a number of years but this is a GREAT museum, on the scale of Mystic. When we visited, my wife, who is not necessarily a marine museum enthusiast was fascinated by a display about songs of African American workers in seafood processing plants and another about Chesapeake Bay resorts. Like Mystic they feature a working shipyard. Roger mtaylor, thibaultron and Ryland Craze 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted July 9, 2023 It would take several days to see all of the exhibits. Ryland Craze, thibaultron and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gak1965 Posted July 10, 2023 Share #5 Posted July 10, 2023 +1. Entertained my kids while they were teenagers as well as interest their parents. The Calvert Marine museum at Solomons on the other side of the bay is smaller, but also nice. Both have relocated screwpile lighthouses, Hooper Strait at St. Michaels, and Drum Point at Solomons. When I was a kid the Drum Point light had been abandoned, and sometime before it was moved in 1975 a bunch of my friends and I went up the ladder and had a look around. It was in terrible shape, and on the way down I wound up slicing my foot open on the rusty old sharp ladder. Small wonder I was always getting tetanus shots...
