The reconstructed bulwarks of the 1920 Chesapeake Bay buyboat Winnie Estelle continue to take shape this summer in CBMM’s working Shipyard.

In our latest update video, Master Shipwright Jeff Reid shares his work fabricating and installing the stern cap rail and the challenges he’s navigated to get the fit just right.

You’re invited to learn more with Vessel Conservation Manager Sam Hilgartner at the next edition of Coffee & Wood Chips on Friday, Aug. 7, at 10am. This in-person program is free for CBMM members and $10 for non-members.

To support Shipyard projects like this one, make a gift to CBMM’s Annual Fund. Your donations further our mission and help us maintain a tangible connection to the Chesapeake’s rich story of boatbuilding through the incredible work of our shipwrights and apprentices. Give today!
