The Chapter is located in Gloucester County, VA in a section of the county along the York River and Chesapeake Bay known as "Guinea". The local watermen, known as "Guineamen" are proud, tough, and independent people. Many of the families have worked the water for generations and many still fish today like their fathers, and grandfathers before them. Much of it is done still with the same handcrafted nets, crab pots and boats, known as a Dead Rise that have been used for many years.
