About Maryland
Maryland is home to the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the United States, famous for its blue crabs and seafood industry. Baltimore, its largest city, has a historic waterfront known as the Inner Harbor and was where the melody of "The Star-Spangled Banner" was inspired during an 1814 battle.
