Historic Boats at the Calvert
Marine Museum
Boatbuilding
Skills Preservation Center
Located next to the small craft shed and
adjacent to the boat basin, the
Patuxent
Small Craft Guild operates out of this facility. Here
traditional craft such as crab skiffs, log canoes, and punts are built,
sailed, and interpreted. Currently located alongside the center is
a 1936 draketail workboat, undergoing restoration.
Small
Craft Building
This 6,000-square foot building, open
toward the boat basin, houses nineteen of the small craft in the
museum's collections, ranging in size from a dugout canoe to the
forty-five-foot draketail Penguin.
