Maritime Annapolis – With fortunes that have ebbed and flowed with the tides, Annapolis has graced the banks of the Severn River and the Chesapeake Bay since the seventeenth century. Generations have worked the docks, sailed its waters and hunted for Chesapeake Gold–oysters–even as the city became home to a proud military tradition in the United States Naval Academy. Local author Rosemary F. Williams presents a vivid image of Annapolis with tales of violent skirmishes between the dashing Captain Waddell and crews of outlaw oyster poachers, the crabbing rage of the twentieth century, feisty shipwright Benjamin Sallier and the city’s Golden Age of Sailing. Williams’s fluid prose and stunning vintage images chronicle the maritime history of this capital city and reveal its residents’ deep connection to the ever-shifting waters. Price: $38
Over the Bridge – Author Ginger Doyel interviewed more than 600 Eastport locals and collected nearly 2,000 photographs to create Over the Bridge. This book tells the story of the places and events that have defined Eastport for over four centuries. Price: $100
Skipjacks remind us of an age when a robust oyster industry enabled a unique way of life along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. These graceful boats take us back to the waterside hamlets where sturdy folk built and tended the vessels of a fishing industry now nearly faded from view. In 1993 Dr. Randolph George found an aging skipjack named Martha Lewis, and what followed became a labor of love and a discovery of the histories, places, and people deeply connected to that time. Price: $36
