Discoveries America Maryland DVD
At Chick &
Ruth’s Delly in Annapolis they’ve been starting the day with the Pledge of
Allegiance for over 15 years! Proud residents of Maryland’s capitol know
their state is rich in culture and traditions. The state capitol is also
the sailing capitol of the world and home of the Woodwind Schooners and
America’s first sailing school where “anybody can learn to sail”. Across
the bay, PRS Guitars turns exotic hardwoods into some of the finest
electric guitars in the world. In Ocean City, leisure & recreation are
embraced enthusiastically and marinas, water parks and campgrounds are
full of visiting tourists in the summer. Assateague Island National
Seashore is a coastal treasure with miles of beaches and sand dunes,
inhabited by wild feral horses left by 17th century farmers. Blue Crabbing
is an industry that fights to survive in the Chesapeake Bay. Local
watermen begin their day early and never know what they will catch until
the day is over. Crab processing continues the work of bringing these
tasty crustaceans to market. Preservation of traditions like these takes
place at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in Crisfield where, not only
is the past preserved, but skills like wooden boat building continue to be
taught to new generations. Ducks of every size shape and color flock to
the Decoy Museum in Havre de Grace. From the valuable antiques of the
nineteenth century to modern mantelpiece artworks, hand-carved wooden
decoys are taken very seriously in this quaint little community that’s
carved a niche in the duck business. Maryland is a beautiful,
geographically diverse state with a rich maritime heritage defined in no
small measure by the Chesapeake Bay but the hills, woods and waters of
Western Maryland contain gems no less treasured including Cunningham
Falls, Antietam and Potomac Falls.
