African American Maritime Traditions 11am–12pm

During and after slavery, black people have lived and worked in and around the waterways of the Chesapeake. Feeding one’s family from the waters of the Bay, earning income from maritime trades, working for oneself and eventually buying land all provided pathways to freedom, helping African Americans develop thriving communities in the Chesapeake. Participants: Dale Green, Earl Lane, Newell Quinton, Rudy Stanley, Catherine Wilson, Stanley Wise. Moderator: Michelle Zacks

Hacer un Hogar Lejos de su Hogar 12:30–1:30pm

Making Home Away from Home…Hispanics are the largest growing ethnic group in the United States, and are an increasingly important part of the population of the Chesapeake Bay area. People from Mexico, Guatemala, and other Latin American and Caribbean countries work in the region’s seafood, poultry, agricultural, and other industries. Learn about the lives, work, and challenges faced by people in these communities as they strive to make a home away from home. Participants: Jose Lisjuan, Adrian Muys, Minerva Nava, and Jay Newcombe. Moderator: Stephanie Moore Bay Hundred Seafood, Then and Now 2–3pm

Crowded with seafood packing houses in the 1900’s, the Museum campus, like other Eastern Shore “seafood towns,” literally was founded on towering mounds of castoff oyster shells. In Bay Hundred, St. Michaels, Bellevue, Sherwood, and Tilghman Island were communities that were built around seafood and vegetable packing––an industry that has dramatically waned over the last several decades. Hear the stories of the people that made their living in the seafood packing industry over the past century. Participants: Rosella B. Camper, Sylvia Jarboe Gannon, Merton Jarboe, Nida Spurry, Edzel Turner. Moderator: Margaret Enloe

Chesapeake Vines and Wines3:30–4:30pm

Although Maryland isn’t traditionally thought of as “wine country,” the first recorded Chesapeake winemaking was in 1648. Today many Marylanders are looking to their roots (grapevine roots, that is), and are adapting former corn and wheat fields to the art of viticulture. To date, Maryland has over 600 acres of vineyards and 240 wines! Vintners and wine makers will be sharing stories about the conversion of family farms to grape cultivation and winemaking on the Eastern Shore. Participants: Caroline Baldwin, Connie Bryne, Mark Emon, and Bill Kirby. Moderator: Mark Powell
