The Re-launch of the Historic Skipjack Rosie Parks: Celebrating the relaunch of this historic vessel, built by famed Dorchester County boatbuilder Bronza Parks for his brother, Captain Orville Parks, and named for their mother. This iconic vessel was the first of her kind to be preserved afloat by a museum and remains one of the least altered skipjacks in existence. The three-year restoration process, completed by master shipwrights and their apprentices, with the help of community volunteers and Parks family members, was funded completely by philanthropic support.
