S/V Dove

    This is S/V Dove berthed at historic St. Mary's City, MD.  This is a replica of the ship that sailed up the St Mary's river in 1634 with the S/V Ark to establish the first settlement in Maryland.  She is 65 feet long with a 17' beam, weighs 25 ton and had a cargo capacity of 40 tons.  She was crewed by 7, although today they use a crew of 9.

Although it's built like a tank, this is the dinghy for the S/V Dove
