Bay Day is April 18It’s Earth Day for the Bay! On Saturday, April 18, CBMM hosts

the 3rd annual Bay Day, a day-long celebration of the Chesapeake. Bay Day, the Museum’s annual festival of fun with a purpose, offers a diverse lineup of speakers, vendors, environmental exhibits, musi-cians, and displays, all presented to educate, advocate, and celebrate a sustainable lifestyle. The Bay Day festival is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine.

All activities will take place on the Museum’s campus overlook-ing the Miles River and Eastern Bay. Bay Day is a chance to enjoy and celebrate being on the Chesapeake while considering ways to preserve and protect it. The festival is a collaborative effort to ex-plore issues that challenge the health of the Chesapeake. Museum visitors can enjoy family activities, talks, presentations, and exhi-bitions relating to the environment, conservation, land use, water

quality, and alternative energy. There will be boat rides, music and refreshments as well.

“Bay Day is a model for how CBMM can connect the past with the future of the Bay,” says CBMM President Stuart Parnes. “Part-nering with both for-profit and non-profit organizations, we can create a terrific, fun event that helps us all see new ways to become better stewards of this great place.”

Participating organizations include: Adkins Arboretum, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the National Oceanic and Atmospher-ic Administration (NOAA), Environmental Concern, Maryland Park Service’s Scales and Tales program, and Chesapeake Wildlife Heritage. Cuzzin Mark and Shaun, of the popular band Key Lime Pie, will play live music throughout the day and refreshments from Crystal Q Catering will be available for purchase.

CBMM members receive free admission to Bay Day. This year, all other Bay Day visitors will be given children’s admission rate of $6. Everyone is a kid at CBMM for Bay Day! For more infor-mation about Bay Day please visit our website at www.cbmm.org or call 410-745-2916.

“Chesapeake Futures” is NowA change is afoot. CBMM is looking to the future: Chesapeake

Futures, that is. It is a new way of looking at the Bay and the Mu-seum’s role in its preservation and the exploration of issues facing the Bay. An 18-month planning and research effort that began in No-vember 2008 is focused on developing a conceptual design for ma-jor new exhibitions, programs, and publications intended to engage the Bay’s residents and visitors in a discussion about how to make informed decisions about the future of the endangered watershed.

The research phase of Chesapeake Futures includes tapping the insight and knowledge of a team of national scholars in the historic, scientific, cultural and environmental fields; regional policy-makers; and innovative exhibit and media planners and designers.

“Chesapeake Futures is a major new initiative for the Museum,” said CBMM President Stuart Parnes. “Our mission to inspire stew-ardship of the Bay’s culture and environment depends on our ability to relate our shared history to our present lives and to the future of the Bay.”

CBMM introduced Ches-apeake Futures in January with a talk by Dr. Jack Greer of Maryland Sea Grant Col-lege. Greer explored pos-sible futures for the Bay and shared different scenarios of human behavior towards the watershed’s ecosystem.

In February, acclaimed author Tony Hiss discussed “Saving the Shore” at Chesa-peake College’s Performing Arts Center. Sponsors for the program included CBMM, along with Adkins Arboretum, Eastern Shore Land Conservancy, and Chesapeake Wildlife Heritage.

Funding for phase one of the Chesapeake Futures project has come from National Park Service’s Chesapeake Bay Gateways Pro-gram and the Maryland Historical Trust.

Upcoming Chesapeake Futures programming includes a lecture by former Maryland Delegate and Senator Gerald Winegrad on April 22. Winegrad will look at recovery efforts over the past 25 years and

what still needs to be done to restore the Bay. On May 7, author John Wennersten will discuss the environmen-

tal and social changes affecting the Anacostia and Patapsco Rivers. Henry Miller, a St. Mary’s City historian, will discuss the archaeology and his-tory of this region on June 5. More details about these programs can be found in the newsletter

calendar on pages 5 – 6.

There’s no denying it—times are as tough as any of us have seen in decades. The economic and philanthrop-ic winds that have steadily propelled organizations like CBMM have suddenly calmed, leaving us all adrift on very choppy seas.

Since our founding in 1965, CBMM has grown to be-come the premier historical museum on the Eastern Shore. With a membership of more than 6,000 families and an average annual attendance of more than 50,000 visitors, we are the most broadly supported institution in the region. And yet we face terrific challenges. We are taking a deep breath and doing some very focused strategic thinking.

CBMM is a museum about place—the Chesapeake Bay—a place where human history and natural history are tightly intertwined. Yet, as this magnificent place has faced intense pressures to its environment, culture, and way of life, we have sat on the sidelines. Surely, it is time for the Museum to join region-wide efforts to sustain the Bay that nourishes us. Here is how we might step up:

We are refining our mission and goals, and the ways we achieve them. As a respected museum, we are already a place that is valued as a trusted keeper of the past—its memories, stories and artifacts. We can become what one of our Board members has called “the conscience of the Chesapeake” by bringing the lessons of the past to bear on the very real challenges of the present. As trusted educa-tors, we can become a more active center for the explora-tion and presentation of issues shaping the Bay’s future.

CBMM is and will remain a museum about people. It is the way of life of the Chesapeake’s people, not simply the quality of the Bay’s waters, that is ultimately at risk. If we can connect our stories and our love for the Bay’s unique cultures to the well-established efforts to restore the Bay’s habitats, we can inspire stewardship of this place in ways that our environmental partners have not been able to achieve on their own.

We have begun plans to make our campus and all our operations more environmentally sustainable. It’s not just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do. Most ma-jor public and private institutions in this region have begun serious campaigns to “go green.” It would be a shame if CBMM were on the trailing edge of this movement.

In this issue of To the Point you will read about impor-tant steps we are already taking. We are calling this broad new initiative “Chesapeake Futures,” and we will contin-ue to unfold new programs and exhibits in the weeks and months ahead. You, our members, are a critical part of this process. I hope you will join us enthusiastical-ly as we lay in our new course.

Navigating through the Doldrums

New Projects on the HorizonLiving Shoreline Takes Hold

By the time you read this article, crews from Environmental Concern will have begun work on the Museum’s new living shore-line. With significant funding from the Chesapeake Bay Trust, the Chesapeake Bay Program, and the National Fish and Wildlife Foun-dation (NFWF), CBMM will construct 260 feet of new marshland along the Miles River, completing the run from the corner of the Small Boat Shed to Waterman’s Wharf. In addition, the “swale” that carries and filters water runoff from the impervious surfaces of the main parking lot to the river will be redesigned and replanted.

“Locally-driven conservation projects (like the one at the Chesa-peake Bay Maritime Museum) not only engage communities in re-storing their local streams and watersheds, collectively they are key to restoring one of the country’s most vital natural resources – the Chesapeake Bay,” said Mike Slattery, director of NFWF’s Eastern Partnership Office.

In a special partnership with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and the Fitzgerald family of St. Michaels, a portion of the project will be dedicated to Kennedy M. Fitzgerald. Although only 20-years-old when he perished in a fire at the family homein 2007, young Ken-

nedy had already distinguished himself as a tireless and dedicated champion of the Chesapeake Bay. The whole of Talbot County and places beyond were shaken by this loss, and are contributing their time, effort and support to the completion of the Museum’s Living Shoreline project.

CBMM’s Bay Day celebration on Saturday, April 18, will offer a first look at this new marsh. Also on April 18 at 12 noon, a special ceremony including the planting of grasses will turn the shoreline into a living memorial to Kennedy Fitzgerald.

A New Home for the CollectionThis winter saw a first for the CBMM collection. An expanded,

state-of-the-art collections storage facility now houses all of the Mu-seum’s collection of objects, artworks and photographs that are not currently on display. The library and archives, including oral history collections, are also now located in the collections storage building.

“There is a convenience to staff and researchers that simply wasn’t there before,” says CBMM Curator of Collections Pete Lesh-er. “Our collections building also has state-of-the-art climate control, including year-round humidity control, which we could not provide to all of our collection resources until now.”

More of CBMM’s collection will soon go on display as part of the new Maryland Crabmeat Company exhibit that will be installed in the Small Boat Shed. The exhibit will offer visitors a context for the crabbing vessels that are in the Small Boat Shed by including oral histories and original research conducted by CBMM scholars.

More information about the Museum’s collection or a tour of the collections storage facility is available through Pete Lesher at plesher@cbmm.org.

Phase 3: Bulkhead Construction On Time and On BudgetWork on replacing the bulkheading adjacent to the Museum’s

Boat Yard from the Crab Claw to the marine railway. The finger piers and the dock along the railway slip are also being replaced, within budget and ahead of schedule. When completed, the Mu-seum will provide a safer and more convenient docking facility for its boating members. As part of the new bulkhead, the Museum is also upgrading its dockside electric service and providing access to potable water alongside the docking areas. Work is expected to be completed by early April.

This is the third phase in the Museum’s ongoing project to re-place its aging bulkheads on Navy Point. The section on the north side of the At Play on the Bay building was completed in 2006; the harbor-side section adjacent to the Museum’s administration offices was completed in 2008, and the section adjacent to the Boat Yard will be done this spring. The south and east sides of the Hooper Strait Lighthouse are the next sections to be replaced pending state and federal funding. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources and a Maryland Bond Bill have provided fund-ing for the work.

Edna’s RestorationWhen shipwright Marc Barto decided to join the crew at

CBMM, it was to work on boats like Edna Lockwood. A National Historic Landmark, the nine-log bugeye is one of only a handful remaining on the Bay. It’s the finest bugeye out there.

Last winter, Barto headed up a crew that hauled Edna to replace her covering boards in the bow. They removed pine deck planks and replaced them with oak, a more suitable material. Over the course of that job, they realized they had a lot more work ahead of them this year.

To begin the next phase of Edna’s restoration, Barto and crew have removed the patent stern, log rails and covering boards, and

will be replacing them with white pine. They have found that hav-ing better and larger lumber available now than in the 1970s (when she was last restored), has made it possible by replacing several smaller pieces with larger single pieces, to create a more structur-ally sound stern.

The patent stern is now near completion, a new wheelbox in-cluding her original wheel has been installed, and her topsides have been sanded and primed for painting this summer.

Two shipwright apprentices are working on Edna’s restoration. Chris Sanders comes from Chapel Hill, NC. This fall he will be attending the International Yacht Restoration School in Newport, RI. Wes Cannon has sailed up and down the east coast on trade schooners and worked at the Boothbay Harbor Boat Yard in Maine. Wes is a graduate of Washington and Jefferson College.

To follow the work that Marc, Chris and Wes are doing on Edna Lockwood, log on to the CBMM Boat Yard blog, “On the Railway,” www.cbmm.org/wordpress. Learn about the mellonseed skiff that shipwright Danny Sutherland is building in the Apprentice for a Day (AFAD) program on the AFAD blog at www.cbmm.org/afad.

Giving to Chesapeake Bay Maritime MuseumSome Museum members find that the best way they can help

the CBMM is by making a bequest in their will. There are three different kinds of bequest, but with each, the entire value of the bequest is eligible for an estate tax charitable deduction. Individual members may name the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in their wills for a specific amount or a percent share of their estate. The Museum can also be a residual beneficiary of an estate after payment of bequests to others.

It is easy to include the Museum in your estate plan by adding a simple codicil to an existing will or by including language in a will you are currently having drafted.

The following language may help you and your attorney when drawing up a bequest that meets your needs.

Specific Bequest. If you intend to make an outright bequest for a specific purpose, such as to support restoration and preservation of the Museum’s floating fleet of historic Bay boats.:

“I give, devise, and bequeath to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, a Maryland charitable corporation, the sum of $_______ (or a description of the specific asset), for the benefit of Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum to be used for the following purpose: (state the purpose). If at any time in the judgment of the trustees of Ches-apeake Bay Maritime Museum it is impossible or impracticable to carry out exactly the designated purpose, they shall determine an alternative purpose as near as possible to the designated purpose.”

Residuary Bequest. If you intend to leave the residue portion of your assets after other terms of the will have been satisfied:

“All the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, both real and personal, I give to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, a Mary-land charitable corporation, for its general purposes.”

Contingent Bequest. If you wish to make a contingency gift, so that the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum will receive a portion of your estate if your named beneficiary does not survive you:

“I devise and bequeath the residue of the property, real and per-sonal and wherever situated, owned by me at my death, to (name of beneficiary), if (she/he) survives me. If (name of beneficiary) does not survive me, I devise and bequeath my residuary estate to the

Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, a Maryland charitable corpo-ration, for its general purposes.”

The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum also welcomes other types of planned gifts including charitable remainder trusts, gifts of life in-surance, gift annuities, and gifts to a pooled income fund. These types of gifts should be done in consultation with your attorney and/or CPA as well as a representative from the Advancement Office at CBMM.

The Perpetual Mariners SocietyIf you have named CBMM in your estate plans, please let us

know. We would like to invite you to join our Perpetual Mariners Society. For more information, please contact Kate Rattie, vice president of advancement, at 410-745-2916, ext. 182, or via e-mail at krattie@cbmm.org.

Planning a birthday party, family reunion, wedding reception?

Consider making the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s tranquil waterfront setting the location for your next special event. We can arrange catering and entertainment or work with your caterer to provide the event of a lifetime.

Whether a small family function or an intimate gathering in the Steamboat Building Auditorium or a large tented affair on Navy Point, we can help you customize an event that fits your budget and makes the most of your special occasion.

For more information please contact Ida Heelan, CBMM events coordinator, at 410-745-2916, ext. 140, or via e-mail at iheelan@cbmm.org.
