About Richardson Maritime Museum
The Richardson Maritime Museum in Cambridge preserves the region's maritime history, from the outstanding boatbuilders of the Chesapeake Bay to the working watercraft they built and sailed. Visitors can watch traditional wooden vessels being built and restored at the Ruark Boatworks, where master boatwrights pass their skills to apprentices and volunteers. The museum was founded to keep alive the traditional boatbuilding craft of Capt. James B. Richardson, a prominent local boatbuilder. It suits history lovers and anyone curious about wooden boats and the Eastern Shore's working waterfront.
