The current Maryland Dove has served as Historic St. Mary’s City’s floating ambassador since 1978. Cambridge, Md., shipwright James B. Richardson was coaxed out of retirement to build the vessel, working with a handful of assistants over 15 months at his boatyard off the Choptank River. In this session, CBMM’s Associate Curator of Collections, Jenifer Dolde, will share research from an oral history project with shipwrights who worked alongside Mr. Jim on Maryland Dove, as well as plans for Dove Tales, an upcoming exhibition about the 1970s vessel.

About Maryland Dove: A Symposium on Memory and Meaning
As the new Maryland Dove nears completion, this series will consider the transition from the current vessel built in the 1970s to a modern reproduction based upon decades of research. This series will consider the legacy of the iconic tall ship, as well as the future of the new vessel.
