The Queen Anne’s County Commissioners approved Wells Cove as the site for a proposed Black watermen’s monument Aug. 26, further representing the history and legacy of the county’s iconic industry. The Bay Times and Record Observer reports Tilghman Hemsley, a Queenstown artist and director of American Patriotic Monuments Inc., who created the original Kent Narrows watermen’s monument 20 years ago, said he had been approached about the lack of Black representation in that project. The monument will depict life-size bronze sculptures featuring a conversation between a head boat captain and an oyster boat worker, according to Hemsley.
