United States Naval Academy

United States Naval Academy med förkortningen USNA (också känt som Annapolis eller i idrottsliga sammanhang som Navy) är USA:s marindepartements service academy som är belägen i staden Annapolis, som ligger mellan Baltimore och Washington, D.C. i delstaten Maryland. Bakgrund United States Naval Academy grundades den 10 oktober 1845 av USA:s marinminister George Bancroft, som en navalakademisk motsvarighet till arméns United States Military Academy i West Point, New York. Sedan grundandet har det funnits en stark rivalitet mellan de två äldsta officershögskolorna som tar sig uttryck i det årliga Army–Navy Game i amerikansk fotboll. Utbildning Kadetterna genomgår ett fyraårigt program, med lön och utan studielån, som leder till en bachelorexamen och officersfullmakt i utbyte mot flerårig tjänstgöring i USA:s väpnade styrkor, vanligen i USA:s flotta eller USA:s marinkår.

Great Shoals Light

Great Shoals Light was a screw-pile lighthouse in the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Wicomico River. History This light was constructed to mark a narrow channel at the entrance to the Wicomico River, as requested by the Maryland General Assembly in 1882. An appropriation was not made until the following year, and further delays pushed the commissioning date to August 1884. In 1966 the light was dismantled and a modern automated light was erected on the old foundation. References "Historic Light Station Information and Photography: Maryland" (PDF).

Phare de Great Shoals

Le phare de Great Shoals (en anglais : Great Shoals Light) était un phare offshore de type screw-pile lighthouse situé en baie de Chesapeake à l'embouchure de la Wicomico River (Maryland eastern shore) (en) dans le Comté de Somerset, Maryland. Il a été remplacé par une balise automatisée. Historique Ce phare sur pilotis, un chalet carré en bois avec une lanterne centrée sur le toit, a été construit pour marquer un canal étroit à l'entrée de la rivière Wicomico, comme demandé par l' Assemblée générale du Maryland en 1882. Un crédit n'a pas été fait avant l'année suivante, et de nouveaux retards ont repoussé la date de mise en service à août 1884. En 1966, le phare a été démonté et une balise automatisée moderne a été érigée sur l'ancienne fondation. Description Le phare actuel est une tour métallique à claire-voie montée sur la plateforme de l'ancien phare. Il émet, à une hauteur focale de 11 m, un éclat blanc par période de 6 secondes. Sa portée n'est pas connue. Il porte une marque de jour . Identifiant : ARLHS : USA-350 ; USCG : 2-23700 ; Admiralty : J2000 .

Greenbelt Homes, Inc.

Greenbelt Homes, Incorporated (GHI) is the housing cooperative in Greenbelt, Maryland, comprising the original houses built by the U.S. Federal Government in 1936 during the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt as part of the New Deal, as well as additional defense housing built in 1941 by the Farm Security Administration, and smaller numbers of homes built later. With 1,600 homes, GHI forms the core of Old Greenbelt, and a large portion of the Greenbelt Historic District. Founding The Greenbelt community incorporated many design elements that were innovative at the time; these included: curvilinear street patterns, the super block, the separation of pedestrian walkways and the street system, and the organization of neighborhoods around elementary schools. Rexford Tugwell, Chief of the Resettlement Administration and a close confidante of Roosevelt, advocated for the approval of the Greenbelt Town Program to the president. Once it was approved, Tugwell appointed John S. Lansill to oversee the project and Frerick Bigger as the architect, and hired construction workers in the Baltimore-Washington area. When the Greenbelt community was built and expanded, the property belonged to the Federal Government, and residents paid rent. After World War II, residents anticipated that the town would be sold. An association of 1,400 residents was formed to buy it, but the remaining 450 tenants hoped the government would continue to subsidize their rent. In 1949, Congress mandated the town be sold, and the sale occurred in 1952. Membership in the Greenbelt Veterans Housing Corporation—predecessor of GHI—consisted of just over 50% veterans, as required by Congress. GVHC gave residents one year to begin making purchase payments or move out. As a result of his involvement with the project, GVHC attorney and Greenbelt resident Abraham Chasanow lost his Navy job as a target of McCarthyism, but was later cleared of all charges. In 1957, the membership voted to rename the Greenbelt Veterans Housing Corporation to Greenbelt Homes, Inc. In popular culture The town and residences which were to become GHI were the subject of the 1939 documentary film The City. The story of the McCarthyism persecution of Abraham Chasanow, one of the founders of the Greenbelt Veterans Housing Corporation, was documented in the movie Three Brave Men, starring Ray Milland and Ernest Borgnine.

Greenbelt Park

Greenbelt Park is a park in Greenbelt, Maryland, that is managed by the National Park Service as part of National Capital Parks East. The forested park lies approximately 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Washington, D.C., and is situated just within the Capital Beltway (which bounds the park to the northeast). The park land was originally intended to form part of the green belt surrounding the city of Greenbelt. The southern portion was assigned to the National Park Service, thus forming the park, while another section became part of the Henry A. Wallace Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC). Recreational facilities include a 5.3 mile (8.5 km) mile hiking and equestrian trail, several shorter nature trails, numerous campsites, and three picnic areas. The park was acquired by the NPS in 1950 along with the land that would form the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, which divides the park in a roughly north–south direction. Nearly all of the park's facilities are located within the larger western portion (the eastern portion has one fire road).
