Around the turn of the century, flat-bottomed, shallow draft work boats, called "Flatties", were used along the coast of Virginia and North Carolina to carry produce down shoal creeks to market, and for hauling oysters from shallow flats and bars.  The Flattie's simple lines allowed it to be easily and cheaply built from commonly available lumber.   Evolving into pleasure boats, Flattie's ply the waters of Chesapeake Bay to this day.
