We recently posted about the retired oyster dredging schooners A.J. Meerwald and the Ada C. Lore. Here is a wonderful short video featuring an interview with Arthur “Daddy Art” Daniels, a 93 year old skipjack captain, who is still dredging oysters under sail in the Chesapeake Bay on his skipjack, City of Crisfield. He is the oldest captain still working the Chesapeake. There are only a handful of skipjacks that are actively still working on the bay. Thanks to Raymond Faulkner for pointing the video out on Facebook.
What a great legacy.
“Daddy Art” is a REAL man.
