OCEAN CITY BRIDGE 



Built by the State Roads Commission across the Synepuxent 

 Bay by the efforts of the members of the Legislature of Worces- 

 ter County, session 191G. It means safety to the people. Mary- 

 land's only seashore resort. Eight miles from Berlin. 



INLET NEAR OCEAN CITY 



In 190G the State of Maryland appropriated $2500 and the 

 people of Worcester County paid in $7500 and cut an inlet from 

 the Synepuxent Bay to the Ocean to make oyster, clam and fish 

 culture more profitable. Bay was diked and inlet cut and closed 

 in 30 days. Since the bay was partially dammed at Ocean City 

 and the bridge built the storm in January, 1020, opened a new 

 inlet. It is now 200 yards wide and 10 to 20 feet in depth, and 

 promises good prospects for oysters, clams and fish. The sea 

 fishermen now use this inlet to go to sea from the bay.

CLOSER CONNECTIONS 



People have for years desired closer connections between the 

 Eastern Shore and the Western Shore to make easier, quicker 

 and more economical the travel across the Chesapeake Bay, to 

 connect Baltimore city and Washington city with our summer 

 resort. The State has aided in establishing a ferry from Annap- 

 olis to Claiborne to accommodate the autoists and trucks and 

 passengers. 



LOVE POINT FERRY 



Another ferry near Baltimore from Rock Hall to Lore Point. 

 Both connect with Maryland's improred roads. The Baltimore 

 & Chesapeake Railroad Co. runs a passenger boat from Balti- 

 more to Claiborne that will take you to Berlin.
