Narrator scallops of sand, endless meanders of marsh and tidal creek. If the shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay could be unraveled it would stretch from the easto west coast and back. The chesapeake is the countrys largest estuary, where saltwater mixes with fresh. 200 miles long, three miles across at its narrowest, nearly 30 at its widest. Yet for hundreds of square miles it is kneedeep. Romance clings to the private coves, the watery sunsets, the smell in the breeze. There is, perhaps, a tendency to long for what has been lost of its heritage. But soaring above, we see how much of it remains, and the incredible beauty held in its embrace. Anyone who has ever hauled a catch from its depths, loafed the small towns that ring it, beheld the marshes blazing in the sun, or skimmed the surface, knows its more than just a place on the map. Experience the treasured chesapeake, her famous landmarks, natural wonders, cities, towns, and preserves that still look as glorious and untouched as th did

and whose remains were interred here. more than 30 lighthouses still stand in the chesapeake. some retired as relics of a past age. others still shine forth as important aids to navigation. perhaps most emblematic of them all, undoubtedly the most photographed, thomas point lighthouse warns ships of a sandbar extending out from shore near the sailing mecca of annapolis. brave thomas point light somehow survived the assault of 23 foot waves crashing upon it from tropical storm agnes in 1972. eminently navigable, the bay has always been a superhighway; freighters, steamers, tugs, and tows. water is a way of commerce and means of transport. the chesapeake bay skipjack, iconic in form, symbol of the bay s boat building heritage. skipjack nathan of dorchester is an exquisite example of the form. built as a light, inexpensive craft for oyster dredging the shallows, hundreds of skipjacks once thrived here. true to form, skipjack nathan cuts through the choptank river almost without
