The City of Crisfield ( Skip Jack )
Sailing by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Sandy Point Lighthouse

City of Crisfield, the first refurbished dredger of the skipjack fleet in the Save Our Skipjacks program, was launched. She is one of 13 skipjacks that the program will overhaul. The 53 year old vessel was built in 1949 at Rice Yard in Reedsville, Virginia. Captained by Arthur Daniels, Jr., he plans to return to dredging for oysters from his Deal Island port.According to the Department of Natural Resources, there are only thirteen skipjacks still dredging. The program is intended to not only keep these vessels afloat, but to provide training in wooden boat repair through an apprenticeship program.

Maryland's Eastern Shore watermen are unique in America. So are their boats, the Skipjacks. They're the only sailing vessels still in use commercially in the U.S. Unfortunately, both are quickly moving toward extinction. In Workin With the Wind, Doug Stephens has preserved for all time in vivid prose and stunning photographs the joys and tribulations of life on the Chesapeake. In these pages you'll meet tough, weathered men like Captain Dicky Webster, who exchange financial security, comfort, and ease for brutally cold winter winds on open water and backbreaking labor for the joy of being free. These are a people apart. Some, especially those who live on Smith Island, Deal Island and Tangier Island, speak with a blend of Elizabethan English, Southern drawl and Delmarva colloquialisms.. They understand neighborliness in a more profound sense than most of us. They need to. Their well-being might well depend on a neighbor. Yet, they're friendly. When Stephens approached Captain Dicky and others with his plan to photograph the men and their vessels in action, he found himself accepted as one of the crew. In following months, he helped dredge for oysters, rode the bos'n's chair to the crow's nest for unique pictures, swabbed decks, steered the Caleb W. Jones through the still, gleaming water of the Chesapeake - all the while documenting his experiences with pen and camera.
