Chesapeake Beach - Fifty Miles - South of Baltimore


When traveling to Baltimore MD or Washington DC
Try a day trip to a place called Cheaspeake Beach


Between 1900 and 1935, the Chesapeake Beach Railway
whisked vacationers from Washington, DC, to the grand
hotels, beaches and boardwalk of this little resort town.

Today...

We went to Abner`s Crabhouse in Chesapeake Beach
just south of the Anne Arundel County line in Calvert
County in Southern Maryland for seafood dinner.

Abner`s is known for their steamed crabs.
The tables have brown paper covering them
and their dining room is far from being fancy!
Just three scenery pictures painted on the wall.

We had Stuffed Rock Fish and Crab Cakes
with french fries, cole slaw, salad and a soda.
Their Seafood dinners are a little expensive.

The restaurant windows looked out onto the water.
There is a nice lighted video gaming room and bar.

Place to park your boat & close to the Chesapeake
Beach Railway Trail (dedicated September 30, 2011)

Nearby is an indoor/outdoor water park
and the lovely Chesapeake Beach Resort.

We did not take any pictures as the weather was
a little cloudy and not as sunny as we expected.

The sun did come out bright during
our late afternoon drive back home.

Baltimore Museum of Industry Key Highway


BMI Photo Exhibit and Reception 2016


Had a nice time at the Baltimore Museum of Industry
Then and Now Photo Exhibit and Reception March 31.
There was food, desserts and light refreshments.
A great turnout and wonderul time was had by all.

The Then and Now photos are displayed in two areas
highlighting nearly a century of changes to the streets
of Baltimore.

The beautiful collage was my favorite
with a variety of now photo entries.

We had several photos
included in the collage.

Baltimore Inner Harbor - USCG Eagle
Baltimore Inner Harbor - Statsraad Lehmkuhl
Duke Tower Broening Hwy former site of GM Plant
GE Locke Insulator on Hanover Street
Holiday Inn Russell St formally The Mohawk Inn
Hampstead Bank in Carroll County Maryland

I made a suggestion to have prints made of the collage
and to create photo puzzle`s to sell in their gift shop.

Next time you are in the area be sure to visit BMI.

The ARM Cuauhtémoc came in with crew members
standing on the spars singing to music and greeted
by the Urban pirate ship Fearless as it made its way
into Baltimore Inner Harbor under beautiful blue skies
and a light wind.

We took photos of the ship as it passed by Fort McHenry,
then the Baltimore Museum of Industry off Key Hwy.

The stunning Mexican Navy tall ship ARM Cuauhtémoc
was delayed by a day, however arrived in Baltimore on
Saturday afternoon, April 23, 2016 just before 4 PM.

Cuauhtémoc,
named after the last Aztec emperor, has served as a training vessel for the Mexican Navy for more than twenty years. She is the last of four sister ships built by the Naval Shipyards of Bilbao, Spain, in 1982, all built to a design similar to the 1930 designs of the German firm Blohm & Voss, like USCGC Eagle. She participates worldwide in tall ship events while teaching the essential elements of seamanship and navigation, taking more than one hundred cadets to sea for each of her cruises.


This year marks the 40th anniversary of Sail Baltimore

The Maryland Dove


August 25, 2016 - Thursday Morning - 9:15 AM


Went downtown to the Inner Harbor to take photos
of The Maryland Dove from Historic St Mary`s City.
(before several appointments we had that morning)

As we approached the ship, there were several
crew members sitting under a canopy/tent
directly in front of the ship talking to each other.
One commented that tours would start at 10 AM.

We tried to get a few good shots in the early
morning bright sun of the exterior of the ship.

Was disappointed that we were to early
to get onboard or talk with the crew.

Hopefully we will get to see her again this
fall when we drive down to Southern Md.

Welcome to Baltimore and CBMM
located in St. Michaels, Maryland


On Thursday Feb 23, 2017 we decided to drive over & visit
The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum on the Eastern Shore.

The weather was amazing for a February afternoon
with unseasonably warm temps in the mid 70`s.

We toured some of the buildings, explored the 18 acre
campus and took photos of the beautiful grounds and
waterfront. (Foggy Cove and St Michaels Harbor)

Most of the boats along the floating dock area were
gone for winter but will be returning soon. The staff
at the Museum Store were both friendly and helpful.

We missed seeing the Mascot for the Chesapeake
Bay Maritime Museum - Edna Sprit - Chief Mousing

Established in 1965, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum
is a world class maritime museum dedicated to preserving and exploring
the history, environment, and people of the entire Chesapeake Bay.

The eastern half of the United States has endured one
of the warmest streaks of February weather on record.
