Table of Contents

This second, revised and expanded, edition of this popular collection, including 233 photos and sketches, represents the most comprehensive study of the Chesapeake Bay's fisheries, but it is far more. It records the pictures and recollections of the homespun tales of the hardy men and women who have lived and worked along the shores of the nation's largest estuary. Since the first edition was published in 1990, some of these tools and traditions have disappeared and are now part of Chesapeake Bay lore. Many of the implements and skills used by Chesapeake Bay watermen had their origins in the 1600s, and, until now, much of what is known about the various forms of gear had been passed down orally from generation to generation. Some of these tools and traditions are likely to disappear in the twenty-first century. The text to this fascinating book documents the harvesting of the Bay, including much information gathered by personal interviews with elderly practitioners of the trade, making sure that the crafts and lore of the Bay's harvesters are preserved.

GOOD BUY
Color: Grey, Number of Items: 1
This is a good sturdy table. It is the perfect size for an end table or nightstand. The USB ports and Outlets really come in handy. It is made out of real wood which is rare, it is definitely worth money.

Very Nice End Table! Sturdy!
Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 2, Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 2
These are great tables, especially to use along side a recliner and couch. They're easy to put together. Follow the directions! Everything you need is in there including the screwdriver!! Lay it on its side on the floor when your building it, tighten all the tabs a half turn and did I mention?... never use power tools when building small furniture like this. once they're done, you'll love them... there's a nice drawer to keep things in -- remotes, etc It's pretty, sturdy, I bet will last a long time. ♡

Nice Side Table
Color: Ink Black, Number of Items: 1
This is a nice side table. The assembly hardware is of good quality. The wood product finishes are very nice and the pieces assemble solidly. The instructions are easy to follow except for the drawer slides where a little more concentration is needed . . . or maybe it’s just me.
