Annapolis

Annapolis has served as a port and political centre in Maryland since the late 17th century. Maryland’s capital stands on the Severn River, close to its entrance into Chesapeake Bay, and its compact historic core still leads down to the working waterfront at City Dock. The Maryland State House, home to the state legislature, is the oldest state capitol in continuous legislative use; in 1783, George Washington resigned his military commission here before the Continental Congress. The United States Naval Academy, founded in 1845, adds a strong maritime presence to the city. See how Annapolis fits within the Chesapeake Bay region by browsing webcams nearby.
