jelw Says: Crisfield Boat Docking And Crab DerbyEvery year the local fisherman get together for the Annual Boat Docking. They clean up their Dead Rise fishing boats and compete for recognition and cash by docking their boats in the fastest time.Now this may sound like a big snooze but...
Woolies - Maritime Artwork of the Past
grandmaR Says: One of the displays at the Crisfield museum was a lot of very interesting embroideries called Woolies.Woolies are embroideries made with wool thread on linen or cotton fabric. Usually long stitch was used. Silk, linen or cotton threads were used to highlight details....

Side Street Seafood Market: Crabby
grandmaR Says: The marina gave us 'wooden nickels' which the boy said were good for a free beer or half price meal. (I asked him if beer was that expensive here.) It turned out to be $1.00 off for each token. It was a bit early for dinner and very late for lunch as it was only a little...
Gordon's Confectionery: Ice Cream
grandmaR Says: We meandered slowly in the heat up main street to Gordon's Confectionery, which had Hershey's ice cream. This has no ambiance or decor. There were some locals occupying shabby tables and chairs at the back, and there was a TV tuned to a sports broadcast.dlitedirector wrote:...
grandmaR Says: There isn't much night life in Crisfield AFAIK. The nicest thing to do is dine where you can watch the sunset, have an ice cream cone from the pavillion at the end of the dock, or, as I am doing here, watching from the deck of my boat . Come as you are
grandmaR Says: There is a Crisfield Trolley which does the Crisfield Loop for 50 cents four times a day. (9:30, 10:30, 11:30 and 3:30) The loop isSomers Cove MarinaCrisfield DockTawes MuseumSubway/Meatland marketMarion PharmacyCarvel Hall (closed Monday)Crisfield Somerset Co AirportJanes...
Side Street Seafood Market: Fresh Seafood
grandmaR Says: I took the picture because of the bench in front of the window. I didn't try to buy any seafood because we would have had no way to use it up and no real way to keep it fresh on the boat.
Play WIth Pottery: Make your own Souveniers
grandmaR Says: This is a store called "Play With Pottery". Apparently one can go here and make your own ceramics. I took the photo while I was waiting for Bob to get finished looking around the hardware store. The building is the old Eastern Shore Bank building, and what is there now may...
grandmaR Says: The Ward Brothers (Lem and Steve) were sons of a Crisfield barber and boatbuilder. They produced nearly 25,000 decoys in 60 years of work. Lem's daughter Ida still resides in the adjacent family house. The shop is on Sackertown Road which is near the marshes, shores and...
grandmaR Says: Although Annapolis is "Crab Town" in CB lingo, the real crab town in Maryland is Crisfield.The street signs in Crisfield all have an outline of a crab on them. This one was on the corner next to The Cove Restaurant. I don't know the significance of Charles Adams Corner.
grandmaR Says: I hate museums that prohibit photography, especially if there is no real reason for it. This museum doesn't have any reason that I can see to prohibit photography - no old valuable paintings or anything that would be damaged by a flash or anything like that.This was an...
grandmaR Says: "Look both ways before crossing the streets. Some of our citizens are more accustomed to driving boats than motor vehicles" This is the warning on the walking tour map.The second picture was taken as we were coming into the harbor. The big new building is on the right....
grandmaR Says: Admission to the museum is $2.50 each. It is very small, and in general is just above the level of a good science fair project. There is a single aquarium tank, a log canoe exhibit, and some exhibits on oysters and crabs. No photography is permitted in the museum. The gift...
J. Millard Tawes Library Museum
grandmaR Says: Construction of this house was begun in 1887 by the Governor's father, James Tawes at about the same time as he married Alice Byrd (Tawes) who might have been a relative of Curley Byrd.The house was originally a two-story center hall home which was common on the Eastern...
grandmaR Says: From the Side Street Market, you can also take a tour of J. C. W. Tawes & Son and watch the pickers in action. Watch the work boats bringing in their catch each day and watch the process the crabs go through until they reach the pickers. A good picker can do 15 lbs of crab...
grandmaR Says: Boats sometimes anchor in the Crisfield harbor basin. It is possible to do this although it is quite a busy area with boats docked all the way around the perimeter. I personally would not do it. You have to pay for dinghy dockage at the municipal marina if you do this.
grandmaR Says: The hunting dog pictured is local to the Chesapeake Bay and is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. This dogs are generally liver brown with a dense flat curley coat. They are heavy bodied dogs somewhat like the lab except that they are brown instead of black. They love the water so...
grandmaR Says: Eat seafood (photo 2). Pick up seafood to go. (Some markets will pack it in ice for traveling.) There is a fresh seafood store under the restaurant (photo 3 advertising steamed crabs) where I took this picture on the outside deck (photo 4 and 5)Take a cruise to Tangier or...
