Three hundred fif- ty years. That’s a long time. And that's what all Marylanders celebrated in 1984. Three and a half centuries ago, 140 religious refugees set sail from England via the Ark and Dove. After nearly four months at sea, Leonard Calvert, son of the first Lord Baltimore, anchored at St. Clements Island. Birthday celebrations took place across the state, beginning with the re-enact- ment of the first landing. A full-scale replica of the Dove, carrying actors dressed in 17th century cos- tumes, passed up the Poto- mac to St. Mary’s City, the colony’s first capital. Summer found British royalty, the duke and duch- ess of Kent, visiting the state. And Allegany Countians left the mountains to discover the shops at the Inner Har- bor, the beaches at Ocean City and Fenwick, and the tobacco fields of Southern Maryland. There were homemade jams and jellies in the pantry, fresh crabs from the Chesa- peake, and com on the cob from backyard gardens. Mr. Gene Morgan’s stu- dents carried their apprecia- tion into the classroom. Post- ers. political maps, famous people, and state symbols covered the walls. Students built models of George Washington’s Headquarters, Fort Necessity, and the Bat- tle of Antietam. Jason Williams engraved a map of Maryland on wood and made it a puzzle. “It couldn’t be bought in a store,” was Mr. Morgan’s comment. To celebrate the construc- tion of the C O Canal, Joey Coburn modeled a canal boat, and Paul Thompson built a replica of a canal lock. 1984 was a time of re- newed appreciation for a state known as America in Miniature. From the rugged mountains of Big Savage to the sandy shores of the At- lantic Ocean, billboards and television commercials en- couraged all citizens to “Capture a Maryland Mem- ory.” The brave souls of 1634 carved out a small corner in this country, that even today, 350 years later, exemplifies their purpose.
