Billie P. Hall is a Chesapeake Bay log canoe, built in 1903, by Charles Tarr. She is one of the last 22 surviving traditional Chesapeake Bay racing log canoes to carry on a tradition of racing on the Eastern Shore of Maryland that has existed since the 1840s. She is located at Oxford, Talbot County, Maryland.[2] [3]

She was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
