About this product

Product Information

Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks documents the skipjack and its role in the oyster dredging industry, describing the natural and manmade disasters that affected the industry, including the August storm of 1933 that swept vessels ashore into pastures, the ice that locked them in harbor for months at a time and led to the novel idea of dredging through the ice with sleighs and later cars and trucks, and the Great Depression that crushed the oyster market overnight and forced many to abandon their vessels and their way of life. By talking to survivors, Vojtech recreates the last moments of some of the worst incidents in dredging history, including the day in 1939 when nine men died on the Choptank. The author interviewed some thirty captains, former captains, and relatives of the men who worked the boats, to recreate events that took place between 1917 and 1993. The early years were reconstructed by research of Maryland dredging records and newspaper accounts.
