Big crowds, a sunny day and a cool breeze made the third annual Watermen’s Appreciation Day a fabulous success. Held at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, the event benefits Talbot County Watermen’s Association and the CBMM.
Special guests this year included Edgar Hansen and Jake Anderson of the F/V Northwestern, seen on the Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch”.
The event featured live music, workboat docking contests, skiff racing and vendors. Long lines for burgers and dogs wove throughout the campus, and visitors sat at long tables for steamed crabs and corn, served family-style.
Event organizer Lisa Gowe said that over 250 bushels of crab were on hand from Bay Hundred Seafood and Gay’s Seafood.
