Smith Island Crab Scrape Model, Chesapeake Bay Workboat. A Crab Scrape is a distinctly Chesapeake Bay workboat, powered by a small inboard engine and ideally suited for crabbing the waters near Smith Island and Tangier Island. On board is a scrape device (special dredge, with steel frame and flexible mesh netting) that is slowly dragged through underwater eelgrass, a favorite crab habitat.

After a few minutes, the scrape is hauled on board and the waterman culls the contents. He keeps the legal-size crabs, separating them into compartments (peelers, busters and soft crabs), then tosses the remainder back into the Bay. This cycle is repeated many times each day. Crab scrapes are typically 24-32' in length with a deadrise hull, box stern and shallow draft. Most have an overhead canopy for protection from the sun.
