Built in 1902 in Salisbury, Md., Stanley Norman is a single-masted, Bay-built sailing vessel designed to harvest oysters with a pair of dredges dragged across the bottom of the Bay. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation acquired the skipjack to play a unique and active role as CBF’s most distinctive floating classroom.

During the balance of her stay, Stanley Norman will be either dockside at CBMM, or out on the Miles River conducting educational programming. The pungy schooner Lady Maryland will also be at CBMM October 21-25, 2018 with dockside tours and a special cruise offered on October 21, 2018.
