Independence was an attendee at the 2010 Antique and Classic Boat Festival sponsored by the Chesapeake Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, MD. The show featured a wide variety of classic boats, from an 11' hydroplane to a 76' Trumpy Motor Yacht.

Many different boat manufactures were represented including Chris-Craft, Egg Harbor, Matthews, Rybovich, Century, Lyman, & Trumpy, even a Wellcraft NOVA!

The show gets better every year. And it's clear that the St. Michaels show is the Mid Atlantic's big important show. The Chesapeake Maritime Museum is growing and is a perfect setting for the show. St Michaels is a fantastic town that is also booming while staying true to it’s rich history. They get it big time.... What was fun about this year’s St. Michaels show was that it was many shows in one show, including Seminars • “Field of Dreams” • Nautical Flea Market  Artists, Craftsmen, Vendors and Kid’s Activities

The weather was hot and humid with temperature in the mid eighties
