Spirit was designed and built by Ernest H. "Dick" Hartge at Eustis, Florida, in 1976. Dick Hartge was originally from Galesville, Maryland, where he built many of the well-known Chesapeake 20s. Spirit resembles a Chesapeake 20 but with a sharp stern which makes her 22 feet.

Hartge built his first boat in the 1920s and continued to build in the Chesapeake-style even after moving to Florida in 1961. He built Spirit in 1976 by first creating a wooden half-model of the proposed boat, scaling-up the dimensions to build the full-sized version. Her hull is strip-planked in North Carolina juniper. Spirit was donated to the Calvert Marine Museum in 2013 by Jane Hartge, and restored by the volunteers of the Patuxent Small Craft Guild over the next year.
