The Maggie S. Myers is an oyster schooner, built in 1893 reportedly at Bridgeton, New Jersey. She is 50-foot-long (15 m) and all the framing is of white oak. The rigging was removed in the 1940s, when the vessel was converted to power. She is maintained and used for oyster dredging on the waters of the Delaware Bay.

She was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

A similar oyster dredging schooner, the Katherine M. Lee which is also listed on the NRHP, was also docked near Front and Lombard streets in Leipsic, Delaware.
