Associate Curator of Collections, Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum
The Dove Shipbuilding Project

Celebrate a new partnership between CBMM and the Historic St. Mary’s City Commission. Maryland Dove is Historic St. Mary’s City’s floating ambassador and one of its most popular exhibits. The ship design is based on the original Dove that sailed to the Maryland colony with the Ark in 1634. The Dove was a small ship used in shallow waterways along the coast while the first colony and capital was being established. The two organizations will pool their expertise to design and construct the next iteration of Maryland Dove, a replica of the late 17th century trading ship that brought the first settlers to what is now Maryland. Jenifer Dolde tells the tale of the original 1970 replica ship builders (www.cbmm.org)
