Junior Pirates Rule the High Seas of Annapolis
By Beth Rubin Ahoy! There’s pirates aplenty on the high seas of Annapolis, mateys. Youngsters between the ages of 3 and 10 gather in the noonday sun at a picnic table behind Annapolis City Marina. They grab bandanas, vests and beads from a large trunk until they find something appealing. “Jezebel” (a 20-something teacher in fringed pants...
Annapolis’ Hidden Gems
By Beth Rubin Most visitors to Annapolis think Chesapeake Bay, boats, crabs. But beyond this trinity is a wealth of lesser-known treasures. Thinking it a shame—and a bore—to always stick to the familiar, we offer the first in a continuing series about the area’s hidden gems. Helen Avalynne Tawes Garden 580 Taylor Ave., off Rowe Boulevard behind DNR. Helen...
Annapolis Ship Museum
By Barbara Pash The ships are gone but their models remain. They can be found in their entire three-dimensional, accurately scaled splendor in the basement of the United States Naval Academy Museum. The Rogers Ship Model Collection is a museum within a museum, and a mecca for naval history buffs and model ship builders. The collection contains...
Kayaking in Annapolis
By Ruth Shock Once summer arrives in Annapolis, it’s time to hit the water to cool off, and one popular activity is kayaking. Start out by visiting Annapolis Canoe and Kayak, located at 311 Third Street in Eastport, just over the bridge from downtown Annapolis. At Annapolis Canoe and Kayak (ACAK), you can rent single and...
Maryland Avenue – One of Annapolis’ Treasures
By Ruth Shock As a resident of Annapolis, I often take for granted how beautiful and historic this town really is. But, on a recent visit to Maryland Avenue, I remembered why Annapolis is so special. Walking down this historic street, I could easily imagine myself in 1776, walking along this same venue, carrying a parasol...
Annapolis Filmsters Academy
Lights, Camera, Action! By Barbara Pash If you’ve got a budding Spielberg in your home, Annapolis has a place for him or her this summer. Founded in 2002, Filmsters Academy teaches the art of film-making to children ages 11 to 20 years old. The academy runs the first two weeks in August only. The reason? Co-founders Patti...
Annapolis by Land or by Sea
By Bud Cole Annapolis is often referred to as “America’s Sailing Capital.” It is easy to see how it earned this nickname when you enter the harbor. Sailing yachts and motoring yachts of all sizes filled the waterfront. Water taxis transport the vessel occupants back and forth to the wharf although many yacht owners use their...
Wandering Maryland’s Eastern Shore
By Carol Sorgen If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, Maryland’s Eastern Shore is a year-round picture-postcard destination. The pocket-sized Chesapeake Bay village of St. Michaels makes a good home base for your visit, with its abundance of unique accommodations, restaurants, shops, attractions, and proximity to towns like Easton and Oxford, well worth a day trip—or even...
Smooth Sailing
By Barbara Pash I read somewhere that the U.S. East Coast has two sailing capitals. They are (ta-da!) Newport, Rhode Island and Annapolis, Maryland. I can’t vouch for Newport but I can tell you that in Annapolis the first sign of spring are not crocuses sprouting in gardens but sailing lesson fliers tacked onto bulletin boards and...
