CHESAPEAKE BAY FLATTIE

Around the turn of the century, flat-bottomed shallow draft work boats, called “Flatties” were used along the coast of Virginia and North Carolina to carry produce down shoal creeks to market, and for hauling oysters from shallow flats and bars. The Flattie’s simple lines allowed it to be easily and cheaply built from commonly available lumber. Evolving into pleasure boats, Flatties ply the waters of the Chesapeake Bay to this day.
