Pocomoke River

on

TILLIE The TUG


An Adventure of Time And The River...And Tillie The Tug!

Its banks give rise to a wilderness of cypress and pine, exotic shrubs and plants that shelter an amazing number of unusual birds...history unfolds at every bend of its dark flow toward Chesapeake Bay. The Pocomoke is one of America's unique waterways, the first in Maryland to be designated a Scenic River.

Tillie The Tug invites you on the Pocomoke adventure, traveling the same "dark waters" which inspired the river's Indian name. Tillie's leisurely cruise melts into the intimate natural beauty of your surroundings, as you share the deep and silent course of the river itself.

It is a voyage of many discoveries. Your skipper will point out striking foliage and native wildflowers...the stalking heron there, the osprey overhead...a doe and her fawn drinking near the waterlilies.

You'll learn our local recipe for cattails...why the bedroom in the certain farmhouse is (they say) still bloodstained...how the river fostered bootlegging and served as a link on the Underground Railroad...where (they say) the best bass fishing is.

Any questions? Just ask. Tillie is hospitality afloat. You'll enjoy our personal attention and the relaxed atmosphere. In fact, Tillie is a great hostess for private parties, too, accommodating up to 22 people.

Spend a delightful hour with us on a timeless adventure -- the prehistoric mystery, colorful heritage, natural wonder and undaunted presence of the Pocomoke River. Welcome aboard!
