The newly-renovated Watermen’s Boat Basin was dedicated at a ceremony on October 26 in Kent Narrows Maryland.

Local watermen unveiled a plaque presented by the 2010 Board of Queen Anne’s County Commissioners, which reads, “The Queen Anne’s County Watermen’s Boat Basin at Kent Narrows will forever preserve our local commercial fishing heritage and provide for the continued viability of an irreplaceable fleet for future generations.”

The year-long reconstruction project includes a new bulkhead, new finger piers and new electrical work, as well as new mooring piles and sheeting. The project is funded by Queen Anne’s County and Waterway Improvement Fund grants through DNR. The facility is used by both commercial watermen and recreational boaters.
