Driving the Shell
For many years the public has imagined only limited recreational uses for
the Patapsco River. A great place to crab, but you wouldn’t want to swim in some
parts of it. Boaters have had no qualms using the branches of the Patapsco as a
road to the Bay. But if you look carefully along the banks of the river, you
will see evidence of the revival of a sport that once flourished in Baltimore’s
watery back yard: boathouses that serve as the headquarters for a number of
rowing clubs, including the Baltimore Rowing Club. |

Beauty and the Beasts
Maryland is graced with the beauty of rare wild orchids that grow in
out-of-the-way places around the state. Botanists are concerned about some

of man. |
