The History of the Flattie Chesapeake Bay Fishing Boat

The Flattie was a widely used flat-bottomed fishing boat in the Chesapeake Bay area between 1880 and 1890. Recognized for its wide deck and V-shaped hull, this versatile vessel was commonly used by local fishermen for harvesting oysters and crabs. Its length ranged between 5 to 9 meters, making it an efficient and easily maneuverable boat for shallow waters.

The Flattie evolved over time, adapting to the demands of fishermen and the unique conditions of Chesapeake Bay’s waters. It’s simple yet sturdy design made it a favorite among seafarers, and its influence can still be seen in traditional American fishing boats today.
