[3] 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, 1889, for Daniel Haddaway, at a cost of $2,200.

Haddaway dredged for oysters from Tilghman Island with the Lockwood until 1892, when he sold the boat to James A. Roe and Richard T. Richardson.

In 1895 Roe bought out Richardson, then sold Lockwood to John F. Tall, who operated from Cambridge, Maryland on the Choptank River.

The hull form is round-bottomed with a sharp entry and stern making her double-ended, and derives its shape from the original log canoe prototype.

The centerboard, which allows better performance to windward while retailing a shallow draft, is located in a pine trunk fastened to the keel log.

A king plank, composed of two 3½" × 4" boards, runs beneath the deck from the stem to the hatch abaft the foremast.

Masts are raked at a traditionally extreme 15 degrees, facilitating sail reefing and maintaining a steady center of force under most rigging conditions.

The fore and main masts carried baggy triangular leg of mutton sails, with a jib on the foremast to the bowsprit.

Restoration began in 1975 and was completed by 1979 under the supervision of Maynard Lowery to naval architect John Lord's plans.
