Remembering the Old; Enjoying the New - Chesapeake Country Photograph by Steve Atkinson

Dinghy Parade and Oysterman Memorial
The Town of Rock Hall located on the Chesapeake Bay has a long history of Watermen working to make a living off of the bounty of the Chesapeake Bay. The Oysterman Monument, dedicated in 1995 to the area’s watermen, is modeled after Stanley Vansant of Piney Neck by Sculptor Kenneth Herlihy.

In recent years boaters have been drawn to the town for recreation on the water. This photo is from the  15th Annual Pirates and Wenches Weekend Festival. One of the events for the weekend is a Dinghy Parade at the harbor.
