William B. Tennison, Historic boat in Solomons, United States.
The William B. Tennison measures 60 feet in length with a beam of 17 feet and operates cruises through Solomons Harbor in Maryland.
Built in 1899 at Crabb Island, this vessel transformed from a sailing bugeye to a powered buy-boat in 1908, marking a transition in Chesapeake Bay maritime technology.
The vessel represents traditional Chesapeake Bay boat construction methods, combining both log and plank building techniques in its original structure.
The boat departs from Calvert Marine Museum for one-hour sightseeing trips from May through October, accommodating up to 40 passengers per journey.
This vessel maintains its status as the only remaining bugeye buy-boat conversion and ranks as the second oldest licensed passenger vessel in the United States.
