Industry
In 1933, Captain Perry Rogers built a deadrise in a boathouse on Parrish Creek in Shady Side for Herb Sadler, an Annapolis seafood dealer and waterman. Sadler christened her "Big HES" and used her for oystering until his retirement. In 1984, Ruth Ann Thompson purchased Big HES as an excursion boat and renamed her the "Edna Florence" in honor of her mother. The Edna Florence returned to Shady Side in 1993 and was carefully restored by volunteers of the Shady Side Rural Heritage Society.
