Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Chesapeake Bay deadrise workboat
Used in	Global usage
Reason	Nomination best shows a Chesapeake Bay workboat built in the traditional deadrise design, being used in its intended working environment to catch blue crabs. Those deadrise design features include a flat V-shaped hull, low stern, small cabin, with a large open cockpit and work area. This one has a platform to protect from sun and bad weather. In trap fishing for crabs, a gaffe is used to catch the buoy attached to the crab trap. A small power winch is used to raise the trap and after the fisherman checks the crabs in the trap for size and sex, saleable crabs are placed in wooden bushel baskets. The trap is re-baited and returned to the bay. -- GRDN711 (talk)
