Lula G. Scott Community Center

The Lula G. Scott Community Center is a historic site located at Shady Side, Maryland in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, United States. It now consists of two frame buildings that were built as Rosenwald Schools. The buildings originally were built on separate sites. The Churchton School was constructed in 1921 and the Shady Side School was constructed in 1926. Both were built as single-story schools with two-room-plans. Decades later, one of the school buildings was moved to the site of the other, and expansion followed. The Churchton school was moved to the Shady Side School site in 1953. A wing was added in 1958. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. See also Queenstown Rosenwald School References External links Lula G.

Mallows Bay

Mallows Bay je malá zátoka na řece Potomac ve Spojených státech. Nachází se v okrese Charles County státu Maryland. Flotila duchů V dubnu 1917 prezident Wilson založil organizaci Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFC) za účelem urychlené stavby velkého počtu nákladních lodí, což souviselo se vstupem USA do první světové války. Jako doplněk k obvyklým ocelovým plavidlům bylo postaveno množství nákladních lodí v jejichž konstrukci se široce uplatnilo dřevo. Německo však kapitulovalo ještě předtím, než první dřevěná plavidla dopravila svůj náklad do evropských přístavů. Po válce byly dřevěné lodě zastaralé a neměly žádné komerční využití, takže se jich vláda zbavovala za každou cenu. Celkem 233 plavidel kotvících na řece James získala společnost Western Marine & Salvage Company (WM&SC), která plánovala zpeněžit jejich pohonné systémy a kovy obsažené v jejich konstrukci. Zatímco WM&SC rozebírala první plavidla v Alexandrii, měla zbytek se zajištěním kotviště ostatních, neboť veřejnost se postavila proti jejich přesunu z řeky James na řeku Potomac. V roce 1924 WM&SC koupila pozemky na pobřeží zátoky Mallows Bay. Dne 7. listopadu 1925 tam nechala zapálit první 31 dřevěných lodí ve svém vlastnictví. Do svého krachu WM&SC v zátoce spálila více než sto plavidel. Jejich vraky zůstaly na místě dlouho bez povšimnutí, ale za druhé světové války se staly vítaným zdrojem kovů. Pracemi byla pověřena společnost Bethlehem Steel Corporation, která do konce války zpracovala jen část lodních vraků. V průběhu let se vraky staly důležitou součástí místního ekosystému. V roce 2019 Národní úřad pro oceán a atmosféru vyhlásil tuto oblast za národní mořskou rezervaci Mallows Bay-Potomac River, první národní mořskou rezervaci vyhlášenou od roku 2000.

Mallows Bay

Mallows Bay est une petite baie située sur le Potomac, dans l'est des États-Unis. Elle se trouve dans le Maryland, comté de Charles. Cette baie est le lieu où se trouve ce qui est considéré comme la « plus grande flotte d'épaves de navires de l'hémisphère ouest » et est décrite comme un « cimetière de navires ». Mallows Bay se trouve dans le coin nord-est du sanctuaire marin national de Mallows Bay–Potomac River, que la National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration a créé le 3 septembre 2019. La baie se trouve dans le coin nord-est des 47 kilomètres carrésdes eaux du Potomac incluses dans le sanctuaire. Flotte fantôme La « flotte fantôme » de Mallows Bay est une référence aux centaines de navires dont les restes reposent encore dans ses eaux relativement peu profondes. Au total, 230 navires de la United States Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corporation sont coulés dans la rivière. Plus de 100 de ces navires sont des bateaux à vapeur en bois, faisant partie d'une flotte construite pour traverser l'Atlantique pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Parce qu'ils ont été construits en bois en raison d'un manque d'acier disponible, la plupart de ces navires étaient obsolètes une fois achevés après la fin de la guerre. L'US Navy ne voulait pas des navires, qui étaient stockés dans la James river – au coût de 50 000 $ par mois – et ils ont donc été vendus à la Western Marine & Salvage Company. La société a déplacé les navires vers le Potomac à Widewater, en Virginie, et en 1925, ils ont été remorqués jusqu'à Mallows Bay. Western Marine a fait faillite et les navires ont été brûlés ou sont restés là où ils reposaient. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Bethlehem Steel a construit un bassin de récupération pour récupérer le métal des navires abandonnés. Des épaves de divers bateaux civils sont également présentes sur le site. La baie a été inscrite comme district archéologique et historique au Registre national des lieux historiques le 24 avril 2015 et a été incluse dans le Mallows Bay–Potomac River National Marine Sanctuary le 3 septembre 2019. Parmi les navires les plus importants vus à Mallows Bay se trouve le S.S. Accomac. Annexes Notes et références Portail du Maryland Portail du monde maritime
Marlow Heights Shopping Center

The Marlow Heights Shopping Center is an open-air shopping complex located in Marlow Heights, Maryland, on Branch Avenue (Maryland Route 5) at St. Barnabas Road (Maryland Route 414), and is positioned just south of Shops at Iverson. History The 28,000-square-foot (2,600 m2) Giant Food store opened at the $10 million shopping center on 36 acres (150,000 m2) with 250,000 square feet (23,000 m2) of store space, on September 16, 1957. At the time it opened it was the largest and most expensive shopping center in the Washington, D.C., area. On August 29, 1960, Maryland Gov J. Millard Tawes opened the Hecht Company's new $4.5 million, 168,000-square-foot (15,600 m2) store. This was the fifth Hecht Company store to open in the Washington, D.C., area. This addition to the original center expanded the site to 41 acres (170,000 m2). Smaller shops included a Bond Stores outlet. The Hot Shoppes restaurant at Marlow Heights was the final location in the chain to close (on December 2, 1999). In early January 2021, it was announced that the Marlow Heights Macy's would be closing in Spring 2021.

Marshall Hall, Maryland

Marshall Hall, Maryland is the site of the Marshall family mansion. It is now part of Piscataway Park operated by the National Park Service. Marshall Hall is located near Bryans Road in Charles County, Maryland, next to the Potomac River, more or less across from Mount Vernon, Virginia, the home of George Washington. The home was one of the finest built on the Maryland shore of the Potomac in the early 18th century. The Marshall family were minor gentry and owned as many as 80 slaves by the early 19th century. Soon after the Civil War, the site became a highly frequented picnic ground because of its proximity to Mount Vernon. Steamship lines, originally established to ferry tourists from Washington D.C. and Alexandria to/from Mount Vernon, discovered a new source of revenue in the park across from the historic estate. In the 1880s, the Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall Steamboat Company ran large ships between Washington, Alexandria, Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall: the round-trip fare at that time was $1, and included admission to Mount Vernon. Washingtonians fled the summer heat of the city for all sorts of events at the picnic grounds, from exclusive catered events to popular cultural events such as a swimming exhibition given by the daredevil Robert Emmet Odlum in the summer of 1878, seven years before his death at the Brooklyn Bridge. Marshall Hall later became one of the first amusement parks in the Washington, D.C., area in the 1890s, offering numerous "appliances of entertainment" (as one deed described them) for visitors who wanted to do more than picnic, many of them arriving by river boat. Starting in the 1870s, annual jousting tournaments took place at the site. New attractions were added throughout the 20th century, and gambling became a major draw for a while after World War II. Between 1949 and 1968, the Southern Maryland area offered the only legal slot machines in the United States outside of Nevada. The National Park Service gained control of the park after Congress, acting upon a request from the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, mandated that the views from Mt. Vernon had to be protected and returned to something resembling the days when George Washington sat on his colonnaded porch and looked across the Potomac. The term "historic viewshed" was coined for this act of preservation. The Park Service tore down all vestiges of the amusement park in 1980, whose popularity had declined due to competition by much larger, newer parks. A fire destroyed much of the colonial house soon after. In January 2003, a truck driver slammed his rig through the remaining hulk. The damage done to the brick shell was repaired the following year.

Glenn Martin National Wildlife Refuge

Glenn Martin National Wildlife Refuge includes the northern half of Smith Island (in Somerset County, Maryland), which lies 11 miles (18 km) west of Crisfield, Maryland, and Watts Island (in Accomack County, Virginia), which is located between the eastern shore of Virginia and Tangier Island. Both islands are situated in the lower Chesapeake Bay. The refuge was established in 1954 when the late Glenn L. Martin donated 2,569 acres (10.40 km2) to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Since then, donation and purchase has increased the size of the refuge to 4,548 acres (18.41 km2). The tidal marsh, coves and creeks, and vegetated ridges of the refuge form an important stopover and wintering area for thousands of migratory waterfowl and nesting habitat for various wildlife species. Martin National Wildlife Refuge is the largest unit of the Chesapeake Islands Refuges, which also includes Spring Island, Barren Island, and Bishops Head in Dorchester County, Maryland. The management of the Chesapeake Islands Refuges falls under the umbrella of the Chesapeake Marshlands National Wildlife Refuge Complex. Located in Cambridge, Maryland, the complex also manages Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge and Susquehanna River National Wildlife Refuge. Wildlife The tidal marsh, coves, creeks and ridges of the refuge provide an important rest area and winter home for thousands of migratory waterfowl and nesting habitat for a variety of wildlife that change with the seasons. Winter residents on the refuge include black ducks, pintail, mergansers, long-tailed ducks, scoters, bufflehead, Canada geese, and tundra swans. During spring and summer, the salt marsh grasses, abundant insects, and underwater vegetation attract black ducks, mallards, gadwall, and green-winged teal to nest on the refuge. Gulls, terns, black skimmers, oystercatchers, and willets nest and feed along the marsh grasses, mudflats, and sand bars. The wooded ridges provide nest sites for several water birds. Ten different species, including herons, egrets, and glossy ibis have been seen in rookeries on the refuge. Rookeries are groups or colonies of birds that nest together. Martin NWR supports the largest colony of brown pelicans in the Maryland portion of the Chesapeake Bay. A small population of red fox, muskrat, mink, otter, voles, northern diamondback terrapin, and various nonvenomous water snakes also live in the marsh areas. Clapper rails, seaside sparrows, and marsh wrens also depend on the protected refuge habitat. Peregrine falcons have been nesting on the refuge every year since the first peregrine nesting tower was installed in 1984. The marsh and estuary are important in the production of marine species such as crabs and oysters that help form the food chain.

Maryland House of Correction

The Maryland House of Correction, nicknamed "The Cut" or "The House", was a Maryland Department of Corrections state maximum security prison in an unincorporated area in Maryland. The prison opened in 1879 and became infamous for the high levels of violence that took place inside its walls. The state, under Governor Martin O'Malley, closed the prison in March 2007. The prison was situated on 800 acres (3.2 km2) south of Maryland Route 175 between U.S. 1 and the Baltimore–Washington Parkway. Most of its territory was in Anne Arundel County, while portions were in Howard County. History The facility was built on land near the former Spurrier's Tavern and a hand-dug section of the B&O railroad called "Jessop's Cut". In 1897, the Baltimore Sun editor petitioned for prison workers to perform road labor to relieve pressure on the overcrowded facility. The nickname "The Cut" was often used during HBO's series The Wire, and during the show's second season many scenes were set at Jessup. The Maryland House of Correction had a long history of harsh living conditions for inmates and dangerous conditions for correctional officers. Large prison riots occurred in 1945, 1964 and 1972. The prison was replaced in 2003 by North Branch Correctional Institution, a supermax prison in Cumberland, Maryland, with far greater control features and security. Demolition of the former prison began in January 2014. Death of correctional officer In July, 2006, a Maryland correctional officer, David Warren McGuinn, was killed in the House of Corrections.

Maryland Point Light

The Maryland Point Light was a screw-pile lighthouse located in the Potomac River. History A light was first proposed for the shoal at Maryland Point in 1887, but an appropriation was not made until 1890. The original proposal was to construct a caisson light, but tests of the bottom convinced the engineers that a screw-pile structure could be made to work. The house was assembled at the Lazaretto Depot in the fall of 1892, and the light was first exhibited in December of that year. The light was automated in 1954 and dismantled in 1963.

Phare de Maryland Point

Le phare de Maryland Point (en anglais : Maryland Point Light), était un phare offshore de type screw-pile lighthouse situé sur la rivière Potomac dans le comté de Charles, dans le Maryland. Il a été remplacé par une balise moderne qui est toujours en fonction. Historique Un feu a été proposé pour la première fois pour le banc de Maryland Point en 1887, mais son appropriation n’a été faite qu’en 1890. La proposition initiale consistait à construire un phare à caisson, mais des essais du fond ont convaincu les ingénieurs qu’une structure sur pilotis pouvait être réalisée. La maison fut assemblée au dépôt Lazaretto à l'automne de 1892 et la lumière fut mise en service en décembre de la même année. La lumière a été automatisée en 1954 et démantelée en 1963. Elle a été remplacée par une balise sur une tour à claire-voie montée sur la fondation de l'ancien phare. Description Le phare actuel est une tourelle métallique à claire-voie portant une balise moderne et une marque de jour.. Il émet, à une hauteur focale de 13 m, un éclat blanc toutes les 6 secondes. Sa portée n'est pas connue. Il possède aussi deux feu à secteurs rouges couvrant les hauts-fonds. Identifiant : ARLHS : USA-990 ; USCG : 2-17895 ; Admiralty : J1912 .

Mathias Point Light

The Mathias Point Light was a screw-pile lighthouse in the Potomac River in Maryland; the station was located near the Port Tobacco River. It was particularly noted for its ornate woodwork. History Funds for a light near Quantico, Virginia were appropriated in 1872. An engineering study recommended instead that lights be built 24 miles (39 km) downstream, and an appropriation was made in 1874 to build a light on Port Tobacco Flats, with a day beacon for Mathias Point. By the time construction began the two were switched, and the light was completed in 1876. Matthias Point was like no other screw-pile structure on the bay, with much decorative woodwork and a distinctive three tiered structure that some described as resembling a wedding cake. It was intended that this light replace that at Upper Cedar Point; in the end the number of complaints led to the latter's reactivation in 1882. Mathias Point Light itself was automated in 1951 and replaced in 1961 by a beacon mounted on the old foundation.
