End of the Season – Tanya Lynn II Hauls Crab Pots, Rock Creek, Maryland
As the Chesapeake Bay crabbing season neared its close, I captured this moment of pure heritage from astern of the Tanya Lynn, a hardworking waterman’s boat hauling and stacking the last of its pots near Rock Creek, Maryland. The sky was heavy with an overcast calm, the water subdued — a perfect backdrop for the quiet, determined motion of a way of life that has shaped the region for generations.
Photographed with a telephoto lens from the water, this image focuses on the back deck in action — a portrait of labor, grit, and the enduring connection between Chesapeake watermen and the Bay that sustains them. Stacks of wire pots build on the deck like the weight of a season’s work, telling a story of rhythm, weather, and tradition that can’t be rushed or faked.
This photo is a tribute to the soul of the Bay — to those who rise before dawn, work with the tide, and carry on a legacy that’s as much about family and place as it is about the harvest.
Available in a variety of fine art sizes and finishes — perfect for nautical decor, working waterfront collectors, or anyone who respects the heritage and hard work of the Chesapeake watermen.
