Curtis Merritt is a working harbour and hosts the busiest boat ramp on Chincoteague. Charter boats, commercial fishing vessels, and pleasure cruisers all operate out of this little harbour near the south end of the island. It is routinely patrolled by the US Coast Guard, the Virginia Marine Resources Commission Police, and the Chincoteague Police, not to mention several species of gull.

[Every line has a purpose; a lot of skill goes into rigging the boats.]
