We are the Maryland, Maritime Heritage Foundation.
We are neither port nor starboard, fore or aft. We are the keel down, middle of the boat, giving it strength and purpose. We do what we all like doing the most: maintaining, preserving and restoring our classic and historical boats on land and enjoying them on the water!
We are the helping hand of classic and historical boat ownership. With hundreds of years of hands-on experience, our members have the institutional knowledge and resources to help you acquire and maintain your “Pride & Joy”. We work together to help each other solve problems and answer questions about running and maintaining our classic boats. In short, we help take the anxiety out of old boat ownership!
Through the Maryland Maritime Heritage Festival, a 501-c3 non-profit organization, we host an annual boat festival on the beautiful waterfront in Chestertown, Maryland dedicated to showcasing the legacy of traditional Chesapeake Bay Working, Sailing, Racing and Recreational boats.
We invite you to be a part of this exciting journey as we gather together to enjoy our passion for these beautiful historic and classic boats – on and off the water!
