The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Maryland, in May 2016 hauled out its "queen of the fleet," the 1889 bugeye EDNAE. LOCKWOOD, for a two-year restoration that has been years in the planning. EDNA E. LOCKWOOD is the last of the log-bottomed Chesapeake Bay bugeyes still sailing. She was built on Tilghman Island for oyster dredging-an occupation for which she, like all others of her type, was expected to have a lifespan of about 20 years. Remarkably, she continued dredging for nearly four times that long, finally retiring in 1967. The museum, founded in 1965, came along just in time for the bugeye to be donated to its collections, in 1973. The museum's boatyard was founded at about the same time, and during a 1975 restoration the nine pine logs that made up EDNA E. LOCK-WOOD's bottom were left intact while the work focused on significantly rebuilding the boat from the waterline up. In the intervening years, however, iron sickness and rot have taken their toll on the bottom logs. The current restoration focuses on completely rebuilding the bottom, following original techniques as closely as possible.

LOCKWOOD是切萨皮克湾虫眼中仍在航行的最后一艘。她在提尔格曼岛（Tilghman Island）上建屋，用于牡蛎疏-。与其他类型的牡蛎一样，她的寿命预计约为20年。引人注目的是，她继续疏that了将近四倍的时间，终于在1967年退役。该博物馆成立于1965年，当时正好赶在1973年将臭虫捐赠给其收藏品。博物馆的船坞始建于约同时，在1975年的一次修复中，构成EDNA E. LOCK-WOOD底部的九个松木原封不动，而工作的重点是从水线上方大幅重建船。然而，在随后的几年中，铁病和腐烂对底木造成了巨大的损失。当前的修复工作着眼于完全重建底部，并尽可能遵循原始技术。
