About Annapolis
Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, is a small waterfront city on Chesapeake Bay, home of the US Naval Academy and a famous sailing harbour.
Annapolis lies where the Severn River meets Chesapeake Bay, and its centre still has the narrow, brick-paved streets and Georgian houses of a colonial port. The Maryland State House, completed in 1779, is the oldest state capitol in continuous legislative use, and in 1783 George Washington resigned his army commission there. The US Naval Academy, founded in 1845, has a campus of granite halls, with the tomb of John Paul Jones in its chapel crypt.
