— Flat Bottom —

Flat-bottom skiffs offer the advantage of simple design and low cost construction. This skiff was built around 1928 by Harry Humphreys of Rousby Hall, Maryland, a carpenter at M. M. Davis & Son shipyard, who intended it for local transportation and general use. Travel by water at this time was sometimes easier than using the poor quality roads. Like many rowing skiffs, it was sometimes fitted with an outboard engine when the need arose.
