Maryland
One of the world's great estuaries, Chesapeake Bay, divides Maryland into two
parts. The bay is navigable, and offers a rich habitat for abundant populations
of fish and wildlife. The bay and its harbors provide the right environment for
migratory waterfowl, and for harvesting crabs, oysters, and clams. |

During the War of 1812, Fort McHenry, sentinel of Baltimore's harbor, was bombarded
with advanced weapons, including rockets, and on September 13, 1814. Francis Scott
Key was so inspired as he watched the attack, that he wrote the "Star-Spangled
Banner" in praise of the successful defense of the fort.

this interesting lawyer, leading lay-churchman, diplomat, humanitarian, poet,

century. |
