Skipjacks

Interesting article on the last of a dying breed.

Thanks for sharing this article. It is a shame these are disappearing, fortunately there are places like the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum who do what they can to restore and maintain beautiful boats like this so at least there will be something more than a story and some photos to help remember treasures like the skipjack.

the capt in the article looks in good shape, especially for being a fisherman in his late 70s.
