A Memorial to Those who Fished the Bay and Built Their Boats

The first frame bugeye, the Carrie, was built on Solomons Island in 1870. The bugeye was a Chesapeake Bay work boat. It was used in the oystering industry for hauling freight. The bugeye is a symbol of the Chesapeake Bay Heritage of Solomons Island. This bronze sculpture was cast from a carving created for the Calvert Marine Museum by Leroy "Pepper" Langley. a mold was made from the carving by his son, Jimmy Langley, in 1992 , and used to make the bronze casting.
