Hilda M. Willing is a relatively small Chesapeake Bay skipjack, built in 1905 at Oriole, Maryland, and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1994.

Sweitzer lengthened the boom, deepened the centerboard and added a small skeg to the keel.

[3] In November 2011, Hilda M. Willing was brought home to the Eastern Shore of Maryland and dredged until 2014 by Capt.

Wade H. Murphy III bought her in late summer 2014 and is currently dredging out of Tilghman Island MD.

She has a traditional clipper bow-shaped cutwater in a sharp, but convex bow, and a square transom.

The king plank runs from the bow past the mast, but stops short of the main hatch.
