© 'OYSTER DREDGER #39' Skipjack Thomas W. Clyde Bowsprit Tilghman Island Maryland Glicee Printed On Canvas by Jan Peterson
The Story:
After living full-time in Annapolis MD from 1980-1997 and working in the maritime industry for a national boating magazines, I would spend my free time gunkholing for crab deadrise boats, skipjacks, clammers, other Bay workboats, crab sheds and seafood houses. I was drawn to them much the same way that a boat is drawn to the water.
Along the way I would also find osprey, eagles, blue herons or a Jimmy 'carrying' a Sook along the riverbank. This painting was inspired by my love for Chesapeake Bay workboats, particularly Skipjacks.
I have always been fascinated by old wooden workboats, and to dredge for oysters under sail was no exception. Captain Stanley Larrimore told me many tales about his adventures on the Bay on Skipjack Lady Katie. The Thomas W. Clyde was built in 1911 in Oriole, Maryland and is assigned dredge number 39.
