This 36-foot powerboat is a local type usually described as a Hooper Island "draketail" or "ducktail." It was developed in the early years of the twentieth century and known for its sleek lines and round, reverse-rake stern.

Built at Broomes Island, Maryland, in 1936 by Alpheus Sewell for his song Clarence, the boat was used on the Patuxent River for crabbing, oystering, eeling, and fishing until 1988. By the time of her donation in 1989, she was in need of major repairs. Over the course of the next ten years, the boat was totally rebuilt by museum staff and volunteers of the Patuxent Small Craft Guild. She was rededicated in September 2000 to the memory of Clarence Sewell.
