As reminder for all the friends and members of the Deltaville Maritime Museum (DMM) and those interested in preserving Chesapeake Bay maritime history…
the DMM maritime park is in the middle of fundraising a matching grant that gives $2 for every $1 donated. A $10 donation becomes $20.
When these rails are in place, a cradle set will be attached to the wheels, then connected to a huge chain and visitors will be able to see how multi-ton vessels were pulled on land for refitting using a marine railway. The railway preservation will be paid for in part by the Mary Morton Parsons Foundation Grant. (Photo by Bill Powell)
