Fishermen's Museum

Our
Museum, an affiliate member of the Council of American Maritime
Museums, is dedicated to preserving the heritage of the maritime
history of the lower Chesapeake Bay area and the watermen who
have plied their trade here for hundreds of years, and the menhaden
industry that has existed in Reedville for over a century.
We accomplish this mission by acquiring, documenting and displaying
materials that are historically important to the area's fisheries
and the lives of the watermen, and to further educational programs
to interpret this maritime heritage.
Two of our vessels, the skipjack Claud
W. Somers and the deck boat Elva C. are in the National
Register of Historic Places. This action speaks to the vital role
that our local heritage – the heritage we work so hard to
preserve – plays in this nation's history
