	2								NOTES: The skipjack, or two sail bateau as it is known in some sections of the Chesapeake Bay, is a deadrise, shallow draft craft with jib and leg-of-mutton mainsail. It originated in the Chesapeake area as a development from the flat-bottomed skiff hull then in use on these waters, in the 1890's. They were cheap to build and maintain and were manned by a small crew. With their introduction to oyster dredging fleet in Maryland, they gained favor over the other sailing types then used in that industry. The skipjack is the most common type found in Maryland's all sail oyster dredging fleet today. The JESSIE PRICE was built at Oriole, Maryland, in 1908, and served in the rugged oyster trade until she was abandoned at Beals Island, Maryland, about 1939. Dimensions: 50.9 x 16.3 x 4.3	CL12452
