The "Edna E. Lockwood" is a Chesapeake Bay bugeye, the last working oyster boat of her kind. She is located at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in Saint Michaels, Maryland [cite web|url=http://www.marylandhistoricaltrust.net/nr/NRDetail.aspx?HDID=946&FROM=NRNHLList.aspx|title=Maryland Historical Trust|date=2008-06-08|work= EDNA E. LOCKWOOD (bugeye)|publisher=Maryland Historical Trust] . She was built in 1889 at Tilghman Island, Maryland by John B. Harrison and is of nine-log construction, similar to the smaller log canoe, and was launched on October 5, 1899 for Daniel Haddaway, at a cost of $2,200. She worked for at least seven sets of owners from 1899 until 1967, and was then sailed as a yacht until donated to the museum in 1973. The museum undertook an extensive restoration of the "Lockwood" from 1975 through 1979, which restored the bugeye to its 1910 appearance with the "patent stern" that had been added sometime prior to that year. She is the last bugeye retaining the sailing rig and working appearance of the type. Her length is 53 ft-6 in, with a 15 ft-3 in beam and a 2 ft-7 in draft with the centerboard up, and a maximum sail area of approximately 1,700 square feet.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1994.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/86000258.pdf National Historic Landmark Nomination: EDNA E.
