On a stormy day in April, the bright, tidy room in the back of the Neavitt United Methodist Church was filled with watermen who, temporarily, weren't on the water.
They clustered instead around tables and note pads, discussing how they might catch an occasional group of tourists along with their more traditional harvest of oysters and crabs.
These watermen, along with some family members, were participating in a new program called Watermen's Heritage Tourism Training. The training was organized by the Chesapeake Conservancy in partnership with the Maryland Watermen's Association, Coastal Heritage Alliance and Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.
