Sharpie and Pungy Schooners in Cold Springs Harbor
The schooner SoundWaters sailed over to Cold Spring Harbor this morning to sail with CSH Boat Club sailors. After tacking around the harbor the students steered SoundWaters by the Pungy Schooner Lady Maryland. Pungy schooners in the Chesapeake Bay, like sharpie schooners in Long Island Sound, were coastal work boats that would harvest and deliver oysters up to port for consumption.
