Chesapeake Bay Interview Project is created to help
us further develop our 'sense of place.' The Voices Project is ongoing, inherently
'inclusive' and well-rounded, giving us the ability to see our bio-region, the
Chesapeake
Bay watershed, from a variety of perspectives
and points of view. With this
ability we can fully and truly appreciate this incredible place called the
Chesapeake Bay."

Author Christopher
White spent two years living
on Tilghman Island and working with four legendary captains of the traditional
wooden Chesapeake Bay oyster boats known as skipjacks. Through a discussion with
a group of these lively characters, we will begin to understand the challenges
of living on the Bay and sailing a traditional skipjack. The event will bring
the audience face-to-face with a critically endangered tradition that reaches
back over 100 years.
