This is the Skipjack Ada Fears. A Skipjack is a traditional  
Chesapeake Bay work boat. Years ago they were used for everything  
from carrying passengers to hauling cargo. Today it is illegal to  
dredge for oysters under power in the state of Maryland. The few  
Skipjacks which remain on the bay today are used to dredge for  
Oysters. There are not many Oysters left, either. It is kind of sad,  
really.
