Of Bug-Eyes & Skipjacks

On Water Street adjacent to the Yorktown Riverwalk Landing, the Watermen's Museum (tel. 757/887-2641) displays a bug-eye, a skipjack, a dug-out canoe, and other working boats unique to the Chesapeake Bay, plus oyster harvesting tools and other equipment used by the region's famous "watermen" to earn their livings. Admission is $4 for adults, $1 for students, free for kids younger than 6. It's open April through November, Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm, Sunday 1 to 4pm; weekends only in winter.
