Follow along with Peter Slack’s ongoing series about COASTAL QUEEN, a Chesapeake Bay Buy Boat built in 1928 and modified in the late 1950s to a cruising yacht. The series followed the entire restoration, and continues as COASTAL QUEEN charts a new course.
February 1, 2026 – COASTAL QUEEN Restoration Project – Episode 40: The Last Buyboat
This Coastal Queen episode takes us to Tangier Island, Virginia in search of the last Chesapeake Bay Buyboat. While researching Coastal Queen’s background we came upon the MOBJACK, and now the Delvin K that is the last remaining Buyboat on the Chesapeake Bay.
