— V Bottom —

Geda is a scaled-down version of a wide V-bottom boat once commonly found in the area of Tangier Sound. The boat was built by Leon Marsh of Rodes Point, Smith Island, Maryland, around 1955, but has its origins in earlier sailing crab scrapes. The boat is named after the daughter of Frankie Dize Sr. of Smith Island, the first owner.

Crab scraping involves pulling a scrape or dredge across the shallow waters of Tangier Sound, scooping up crabs hiding in the grasses. Geda scraped up crabs until 1959, when sold to a Patuxent River fisherman. She was subsequently acquired by Dr. and Mrs. Kent Mountford, who restored the boat.
