Claud W. Somers

It is one of the few skipjacks remaining in operational condition on Chesapeake Bay. Commissioned by Edward Thomas Somers, she was built in 1911 by Tom Young at Young’s Creek near the settlement known as Clam, Virginia, just north of Onancock and named after Edward’s son. After a working career of at least 60 years, she was eventually donated to the Reedville Fishermen’s Museum.
