The William B. Tennison was built in 1899. It started life as a  
Bugeye, meaning a two masted sail boat which was generally used for  
Oystering. In 1906 it was converted to gasoline power and was used as  
an Oyster buy-boat.  A buy-boat was a vessel which bought Oysters  
directly from the watermen working the Oyster Beds. Today she makes  
her living taking tourists for boat rides on the bay.

Comments and Criticisms welcome.
