Their collection represents many of the types of vessel that were developed and used on the Chesapeake Bay over the past 400 years. Some of the collection are rare-remaining original vessels and some are nice replica. For both historic and model boats, the CBMM website provides a multi-media know to understand the history and construction, and restoration process of 12 alone vessels. For more photos of the traditional construction of a replica Maryland Dove, be sure to check out their Flickr page .
