Stanley Norman
This is a common sight in downtown Annapolis--the bowsprit of the Stanley Norman, a Chesapeake skipjack which is now used by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. "The Stanley Norman is a Chesapeake Bay skipjack, built in 1902 at Salisbury, Maryland. She is a 47.5 foot long two-sail bateau, or "V"-bottomed deadrise type of centerboard sloop.She has a beam of 16', a depth of 4' at the stern with the centerboard up, and a registered tonnage of 7 tons. She is one of the 35 surviving traditional Chesapeake Bay skipjacks and a member of the last commercial sailing fleet in the United States."
I thought B&W was very fitting for this shot. Taken with Nikon D300 and Nikkor 85 f1.4 @ f2.
