Baltimore used to be one of the major boat manufacturing powerhouses in the U.S. For many years this enterprise not only buoyed, but helped Baltimore grow into one of the largest economic hubs in the Eastern U.S.A.

One of my favorite ways to explore a new destination is via road trip. With the freedom of the open road, the flexibility to go where you want, when you want, and the chance to stumble upon towns and experiences not indexed in any guidebook—well, what’s not to love?
