Annapolis: Eastport Yacht Club
Built around a protected harbour beside the Severn River, Annapolis grew into Maryland’s capital and a major sailing centre on Chesapeake Bay. Eastport Yacht Club occupies the waterfront in Eastport, across Annapolis Harbor from the colonial-era core, amid a dense network of marinas, docks and boatyards. The city is home to the United States Naval Academy, founded in 1845, whose sailing tradition is woven into local life. In the centre, the Maryland State House, completed in 1779, remains the oldest US state capitol in continuous legislative use. The Severn, Annapolis Harbor and Chesapeake Bay give the city its distinctly maritime character.

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.

Maryland is widely known in the United States for Chesapeake Bay, the vast estuary that shapes much of its eastern shore. The state extends from Atlantic beaches and tidal wetlands across the bay’s low-lying Eastern Shore to rolling Piedmont country and the forested Appalachian west. Baltimore, its largest city, developed around a major harbor on the Patapsco River; Annapolis, the capital, is home to the United States Naval Academy. Seafood, particularly blue crabs, is central to Maryland’s food traditions, while the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal follows part of the Potomac River corridor.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
