Cargo: What, Where, Why, and How

10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Waterfront

How were goods transported from England to early Maryland’s shores without being damaged or lost? How do you maximize storage space aboard a tall ship? During this hands-on workshop students will learn what cargo is, how it was moved in the 17th century, and the rigors that came with the challenge of delivering cargo to shore. Hint- it will require both muscle and mechanical advantage!

Ages 8 and up.

Hook, Line, and Sinker: Fishing in 17th Century Maryland

10:30 a.m. -12:00 p.m.

Godiah Spray Tobacco Plantation

Fishing has played a large role in Maryland’s culture and history for thousands of years. Join us at the plantation to learn how early Maryland colonial settlers constructed fishing implements, used them, and cooked the fish they caught. Make comparisons to native fishing methods and try your hand at hooking and cooking your catch.

Ages 5 and up.
