Yesterday was such a beautiful day that Claire and I decided to go exploring. We visited St Michaels, Tilghman's Island and Oxford Maryland. St Michaels is the home to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and also has a sign as you enter the Town that states "it is the town that fooled the British during the War of 1812". Tilghman's Island is located on the Chesapeake and Choptank River. It is still very much a fishing town. Tilghman Island is also home to the only commercial sailing fleet in North America, the Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks. Although there were once hundreds of these ships on the Bay, now there are only nine.The skipjacks are moored on Tilghman Island, in Dogwood Harbor, along with many other commercial fishing boats. The skipjack shown here is the Rebeca T Ruark.
Oxford is extremely picturesque and is know for it restaurants and its Ferry. The Robert Morris Inn 1710 - the oldest full service Inn in America and Oxford-Bellevue Ferry is 336 year old, however it was not in service yesterday.
