Smith History Geography Seasonal Information |
"The western shore by which we sailed we found all along well watered, but very mountainous and barren, the valleys very fertile, but extreme thick of small wood so well as trees and much frequented with wolves, bears, deer, and other wild beasts."
- Captain John Smith, 1608
Today, Annapolis is a major hub for recreational boating and is home to the U.S. Naval Academy.
