The Skipjack Ada Fears was built in 1968 by Applegarth's Marine Yard in Oxford, Maryland.  She is believed to be the last true skipjack built by this yard. She dredged the Chesapeake Bay in the 1970s  as Lady Agnes.  She was rebuilt and renamed in the 1990s and has been docked for viewing and education in Baltimore, MD, Tuckerton, NJ Seaport, Rock Hall, MD, Chesapeake City, MD and other various locations on the Chesapeake Bay.

"To see a skipjack under sail is to feel the pull of Maryland history, when generations of watermen made a living off the most beautiful and bountiful inland estuary in the world.

The Chesapeake Bay Skipjack is recognized as the State Boat of Maryland and a National Historic Landmark."
