PUBLIC SAILS ABOARD THE DEE OF ST. MARY’S
Looking for a great way to experience the Patuxent River? The Calvert Marine Museum is offering two-hour public sails aboard the historic skipjack Dee of St. Mary’s. Cruises depart from the J.C. Lore Oyster House in Solomons on Saturdays, July 26, August 23 and September 13 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for children 7 – 12. No children under 7 permitted. Call 410-326-2042, ext. 41 to make a reservation.
The Dee of St. Mary’s, built in 1979, is one of the last skipjacks ever built on the Chesapeake Bay. The Dee was used originally in the commercial oyster fishery and then as a floating classroom starting in 1989 when the oyster population dwindled. The Museum took ownership in May 2013 and is pleased to offer public sails, educational opportunities, as well as private charters.
