The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (CBMM) opened in 1965 on Navy Point in St. Michaels, a Talbot County riverfront town on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The museum explores and preserves the history, environment, and culture of the Chesapeake Bay region.
CBMM began as a project of the Historical Society of Talbot County, which acquired three waterfront houses along St. Michaels Harbor, along with several historic watercraft. CBMM incorporated as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 1968 and in 1971 hired its first permanent director. The museum expanded its collections, real estate, and historic structures and became accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.
The Norman and Ellen Plummer Center for Museum Collections and Howard I. Chapelle Library houses an extensive collection of Chesapeake resources and archival materials, while CBMM’s collection of Chesapeake Bay watercraft—the largest in existence—numbers about 85 vessels.
CBMM has been a grantee and member of the Maryland Folklife Network since 2021, and received grant funding from other Maryland Traditions and MSAC programs for many decades prior.
This collection is made up of two series arranged by fiscal year: Series I: FY 2022 and Series II: FY 2023.
Jenifer Dolde, Director of Curatorial Affairs and Exhibitions at CBMM, delivered electronic inventories to UMBC Special Collections in 2023. The physical and digital materials will continue to be physically housed at the Plummer Center in St. Michaels, Maryland. Accessions: MSS2023-07.
Materials described in this finding aid were collected and arranged by staff at the CBMM. Acadia Roher, Maryland Traditions Archivist at UMBC, prepared the finding aid.
