The boat boat tied up on the right side of Drum Point Light is a Skipjack, a 
traditional workboat unique to the Chesapeake Bay. Once there were hundreds 
of them on the Bay. With the collapse of the Bay's echo system and the 
marked decline in the crab and oyster population very few Skipjacks are 
left. I have heard numbers as low as two or three dozen.
