Maryland’s oldest city, Annapolis located at the mouth of the Severn River on the Chesapeake Bay, is an intimate ocean-side spot and an internationally celebrated maritime community with a fascinating history in addition to being the colonial capital of Maryland, Annapolis is also known as the "sailboat capital of the world", and is a favorite yachting port. Explore the charming harbor ringed by a colourful hodgepodge of historic buildings lining narrow, crooked streets. Take a trip to historic downtown’s City Dock area, the site of the world's largest sailboat and power boat shows, built in 1695 and known to the regular boaters as "Ego Alley," during the weekend and evening is the scene of a steady parade of expensive yachts and hip atmosphere. The US Naval Academy has many interesting sights and is the world's largest dormitory housing over 4000 midshipmen. Most popular sights are the crypt of John Paul Jones in the Academy Chapel and the Severn seawall with its mast from the battleship Maine (sunk in Havana in 1898). There is also an early submarine, a Mark XIV torpedo (memorial to the 52 U.S. submarines lost in WWII with 3505 men) and other Navy hardware on show. Bed and breakfast in Maryland Central provides excellent bases for easy access to all the attractions.
