My mom was born on Tilghman Island in 1917. Her father and brothers were watermen. I heard these stories from them but thought it was BS. Thanks for correcting me.
This might be a quintessential Baltimore and Chesapeake Bay story worthy of cinematic treatment. I know of nonfiction and novel treatments. Does anyone have a script?
On Essex /Middle River neighborhood there is a legend of a pirate " Captian Stemmers", . Steamers run middle school is named after him and its yearbook had a Buckineer as it logo. Was he a real pirate or an oyster pirate? I had also heard he was a bootlegger. Do you have anything on ghost subject?
Wow! This is a story I'd never heard of! It would make a great movie!
Wouldn't it?!?

It's hard to imagine, isn't it?
Thanks for another informative video!
Thanks for watching!
I am sure I had family on both sides of the state line (and of the Bay) participating in this story.
Awesome! Thanks!

I agree.
Why don't they raise the hull and have it on display. The wars were an interesting bit of the bays history.
