A favorite destination for yachtsmen the world is Chesapeake Bay located on the eastern seaboard of the United States with over a thousand miles of shoreline. Today we visit historic city Michaels Maryland and explore nearby Why. And yes and yes.
This is a cat reservation. Remember we're doing like. We're down to the boys the heart of time is the harbor where expensive yachts rub shoulders with belt work boats. At the time of the American Revolution the harbor was consumed by the industry of ship
building. Today most of the shipyards are gone. Of the industries are tourism and the cost of seafood. Is the crab claw. Across the way to find a shore restaurant in line at the harbor and Marina. This is Michael's crop and stick time dock restaurant. And don't miss my rain a bar on the tennis court. And there are more restaurants and Tynan told that street. To find pretty interesting shops and economy. Look at a lot of Crawford's daughter.
Who was regarded as a great beauty in her time she was magic beings. No they don't do it. The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum was fined of nine hundred sixty five point Michel on permanent display as the nation's most complete collection of Chesapeake Bay artifacts visual arts and water craft including the Hooper Strad lighthouse built in 79. This is called a scoop highlight built on special iron pilings which were tipped with a screw that could be turned into the river bottom for a depth of 10 feet or more. The dwelling was designed as a wooden cottage styled structure with living quarters and the first floor consisting
of a roomy kitchen with a southern exposure. A pleasant sitting room complete with pot bellied stove and two bedrooms. The plumbing was situated. Doors. This is really one of my favorite artifacts in the White House because it's a chart showing the position of the original 74 like houses on the Chesapeake Bay. There were songs Tara lighthouses on screw pines the second floor was reserved for storage on the third floor with the lantern deck and twenty to a French physicist named Augusten from now invented a lens it looked like a giant glass beehive. The concentric rings of glass prisms bent the light into a narrow beam that could be seen 20 miles away. When I opened this three or four times a night with their oil lamps inside now we simply have a switch downstairs where we forgot the electric light. This light house once led the way through the tricky waters of Hooper stret.
Because the bay is shallow with D'Andre show they light houses on the keepers were essential to save not the cash Mr Fly Away. Michael's architecture is primarily of the Victorian period but there are structures which date back to the 18th and early 19th century. Many homes have been converted into shops and bed and breakfasts providing unique accommodation. Michael's derived its name from the Episcopal parish established here in 77 brochures can be obtained and many of the businesses throughout the time public restrooms are located behind long and tall but street you
may be wondering could be repaired. Michael says the time that the privateers and gunboats produced here it is shipping to the point man were ordered up the Chesapeake to Michaels and destroy her shipyards anticipating the attack. Under the leadership of Brigadier General Parry Benson hung on to tree tops on the evening of August 13. The Fleet arrived at Michaels and come back.
