Meet CBMM’s Shipyard Intern Aiden Crumpton, who has spent the summer gaining hands-on experience working alongside our shipwrights on a variety of projects, including the ongoing refit of 1920 Chesapeake Bay buyboat Winnie Estelle.

In our latest update video highlighting Winnie Estelle, Crumpton shares how he’s contributed to the project, what he’s learned in our working Shipyard, and why this summer has been such a meaningful experience as he prepares to head back to the American College of the Building Arts in Charleston, S.C.

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!
