Ode to the Oyster This year, all proceeds will support the upcoming refresh of CBMM’s longstanding exhibition Oystering on the Chesapeake, as well as the relaunch and programming of our 1920 Chesapeake Bay buyboat Winnie Estelle. After an extensive refit in our working Shipyard, the historic vessel will serve as an on-the-water educational platform for heritage and ecotourism exploring the Bay’s history, environment, and culture. Together, Oystering and Winnie Estelle will share new storytelling centered on aquaculture, one of the world’s fastest-growing industries.
