A working waterfront campus on the Miles River with the last screw-pile lighthouse on its original Bay waters (Hooper Strait Light, relocated intact) and the country's largest collection of Chesapeake Bay skipjacks and workboats.

Anchors the Chesapeake loop corridor with a precise waterfront coordinate in charming St. Michaels; complements existing Eastern Shore content without duplicating the existing beach/lighthouse entries.
