		Maritime Landmarks www.marylandhistoricaltrust.net Soon after its introduction to the Chesapeake in the 1890s, the skipjack became the preferred oyster dredge boat. During the first quarter of this century, the skipjack fleet numbered into the hundreds. It is estimated that only 7 to 10 skipjacks oystered during the 1993-94 season. Many of them are in poor condition and the oyster harvests are in also in decline. The extinction of America's last commercial fishing sailing fleet is unfortunately possible. Even the skipjack which is considered the Chesapeake's most economical sailing workboat cannot make a living for her owner when the oysters are too scarce to make a profit. Dave Turnbaugh is working to preserve the skipjacks as best he can - by painting their portraits. He also donated art to the Maryland Historical Society for use in fund raising.
