This week’s Mystery History is an aerial shot. Project yourself up into the sky, and back in time. Looking down on this view in the 1930s, can you identify its Talbot County location? Send your answer to [email protected]. The Spy Agents who got it right last week are listed below.
Easton Farmer’s Market Master Carolyn Jaffe wins last week’s mystery history puzzle, saying “That’s CBMM — the Eagle House (can’t remember the 2 others’ names …), the boarding house (bordello???) which became the CBMM Gift Shop, and the pre-cursor to the Crab Claw! … and some nifty boats!” She was not, however, the first reader to identify the photo as part of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum campus.
Tracey Munson of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, tells us that technically, last week’s photo was of the St. Michaels Harbor. But the image was familiar to two other readers, who get credit for recognizing the Dodson House and the Eagle House on the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s campus. For the record, Navy Point refers to the parcel of the museum campus where the At Play on the Bay building lies.
Both Barbara Reisert and Thom Sevco identified the photo as “Navy Point at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.”
