Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum
Maryland
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.
Why Roamward picked it
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.
