The Maryland Dove Fund

This fund supports the maintenance & interpretation of the Maryland Dove, a re-creation of the smaller of the two ships that originally settled the colony of Maryland. The ship operates as a shore-side & traveling attraction for visitors as well as a working vessel that helps to preserve the maritime heritage of the 17th century.
