PEM Talks: Lost Landmarks
PEM Talks: Lost Landmarks Ralph Eshelman will present The Age of the Steamboat Wharves. Ralph will talk about life in Calvert County during the age of the steamboat. Based on his 1996 inventory of Calvert County steamboat wharves and landings he will discuss how these wharves and landing became the focal point of social and commercial activity on the waterfront. With the move to automobiles and trains and consequent decline in steamboating the social and commercial fabric of this region changed. The sounds, smells, sights and excitement of the steamboat are now gone and largely forgotten; but some surprising vestiges of that time still survuve. 7 p.m. in the auditorium. FREE. |
