Historic Boats at the Calvert Marine Museum Boatbuilding Skills Preservation Center Located next to the small craft shed and adjacent to the boat basin, the Patuxent Small Craft Guild operates out of this facility. Here traditional craft such as crab skiffs, log canoes, and punts are built, sailed, and interpreted. Currently located alongside the center is a 1936 draketail workboat, undergoing restoration.
Small Craft Building This 6,000-square foot building, open toward the boat basin, houses nineteen of the small craft in the museum's collections, ranging in size from a dugout canoe to the forty-five-foot draketail Penguin. RELATED NEWS:
